MIKEL ARTETA CLAIMS VIKTOR GYOKERES HAS FINALLY HIT "THE HIGHEST LEVEL"
Viktor Gyokeres’ late double pushed Arsenal nine points clear at the top as Mikel Arteta hails the striker’s confidence and form.
Mikel Arteta says Viktor Gyokeres has hit “the highest level” after his two late goals in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Sunderland.
Martin Zubimendi got Arsenal going with a great opener in the first half at the Emirates. Then, just six minutes after coming off the bench, Gyokeres scored his first. He added another in stoppage time, wrapping up a win that pushes Arsenal nine points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
Gyokeres has taken some heat during his first season in north London. Still, after this brace, he’s scored four goals in his last four games and six in his last eight.
Arteta didn’t hold back: “Confidence is the magic word. When you’re confident, when you feel important, when you’re at your best, that’s when you can really play at the top level.
“We’re right behind him, every step of the way, supporting him. He’s delivering now, and he’s in a great place.
“Wearing this shirt comes with a lot of responsibility and huge expectations. You have to live with that.
“On this journey, you’ll have good spells and tough ones too.
“With Viktor, it’s tough to read his emotions—he just looks you right in the eye. He doesn’t show much, whether things are going well or not. He’s always pushing himself, always trying to get better.
“I love his attitude—the way he approaches each day, stays focused on what he needs to do, and really wants to help the team, no matter what role he plays.”
Arsenal are now in a strong spot to win their first league title since 2004, with 39 points still up for grabs in the last 13 games.
Manchester City have to beat Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday just to cut Arsenal’s lead back to six points.
But when someone asked Arteta what this latest victory means for the title chase, he just shrugged it off. “Nothing. We still have so many games to win to get what we want.
“Tonight, I’ll have a nice dinner. Tomorrow, I start thinking about Brentford—because that won’t be easy.
“And while I’m at it, I’ll be watching a huge game between Liverpool and City.”
Sunderland have surprised a lot of people this season, but this was their third loss in four matches.
Their manager, Regis Le Bris, said, “Right after halftime we had chances to get back in it, but we didn’t take them—and when you don’t do that against a team like Arsenal, one of the best in England and Europe, the game slips away.”
MIKEL ARTETA OFFERS ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN COACHING ROLE AT ARSENAL
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is choosing between a playing career at Celtic and a coaching role offered by Mikel Arteta at Arsenal.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, now a free agent, has a couple of big decisions on his plate. Arsenal recently offered him a spot on their coaching staff, even as he’s deep in talks with Celtic about a return to playing. Since leaving Besiktas last summer, he’s been figuring out his next steps and has been back training at Arsenal for a while.
Celtic look like they’re close to sealing the deal. Oxlade-Chamberlain, 32, is expected to head up to Glasgow soon to wrap things up. But Mikel Arteta isn’t giving up on him just yet. Arteta really rates him, wants more ex-Arsenal players involved behind the scenes, and hopes Oxlade-Chamberlain will consider coaching at the club when he decides to hang up his boots. While training at Arsenal, Oxlade-Chamberlain has been working toward his UEFA B coaching licence, so he’s clearly thinking ahead.
Even so, it sounds like Oxlade-Chamberlain told Arteta he’s not done playing. A move to Celtic keeps getting closer.
Arteta’s always been big on bringing former players into Arsenal’s backroom team. When asked about it, he said, “I love it. People who’ve really lived through the history of the club bring something different. It’s like an academy kid who’s been here since he was eight—they just have something extra. I’d love to have more. I’ve got some great relationships with ex-players from all sorts of Arsenal teams, and they’re really helpful.” As for signing Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arteta kept his cards close to his chest: “We explore every option.”
Still, Celtic haven’t locked anything in yet. The deal missed the deadline to register new players for their Europa League match against Stuttgart. Oxlade-Chamberlain’s already started medicals with Celtic, and personal terms don’t seem to be a problem. The sticking point? Contract length. His camp wants an extension option at the end, and that’s where talks have stalled.
Celtic are still interested, but just in case things fall through, they’re looking at Tiemoue Bakayoko, who used to play for Chelsea and AC Milan. Bakayoko left PAOK in January and is itching to get back into the game. Last month, he said, “Some things are coming about my future. I’m feeling 100 per cent ready for the next challenge. I miss football a lot.”
JURRIëN TIMBER: CARABAO CUP VICTORY CAN "SPRINGBOARD" ARSENAL TOWARD A HISTORIC QUADRUPLE
Jurriën Timber reveals how Kai Havertz’s return from a year-long injury has "electrified" the Arsenal squad ahead of Wembley.
Jurriën Timber didn’t hold back on the praise for Kai Havertz after Arsenal punched their ticket to the Carabao Cup final. Havertz, fresh off a long injury layoff, came off the bench and put the game to bed with a stoppage-time goal against Chelsea.
It’s wild to think Havertz spent almost a year sidelined with hamstring and knee problems. Now, he’s scored twice in his last three games. You can feel the lift he gives the squad. “Kai’s presence makes a huge difference, both in the dressing room and out on the pitch,” Timber said. “Everyone can see the quality he brings, and honestly, we were all buzzing for him. He’s a fun guy to have around, not quiet at all, and everyone loves him. When he’s missing, you notice. So, we’re just glad he’s back.”
Timber hopes Havertz soaks up this moment—and that there’s plenty more to come.
Looking ahead, Timber sees the Carabao Cup as more than just a trophy—it could be the confidence boost Arsenal needs for an even bigger season. After beating Chelsea at home, they’re one win away from ending a six-year trophy drought. The vibe around the club is different this year. Arsenal sits six points clear at the top of the Premier League; they breezed through the Champions League group stage, and in just over a week, they’ll host Wigan in the FA Cup.
When someone asked Timber if a Carabao Cup win could lead to more silverware, he didn’t dodge the question: “We haven’t won anything yet, but we’ve put ourselves in a great spot. The Carabao Cup final comes early, so if we get that win, it could push us on for the rest of the season. You can’t always play your absolute best, but this team finds ways to win. We did it away at Chelsea, which is tough, and then at home too. We deserve this.”
You could see the relief and joy when they clinched their spot at Wembley. Timber summed it up pretty well: everyone’s hoping there’s more to celebrate soon.
Next up, Arsenal are back at the Emirates on Saturday against Sunderland. If they win, they could stretch their lead over Manchester City to nine points—at least until City faces Liverpool the following day. The momentum’s building.
