Gyokeres is a forward-thinking player who loves to run in behind, work the channels, and his first thought on the ball is whether he can shoot. However, he’s not an archetypal penalty-box poacher; aerial duels and receiving crosses aren’t his biggest strengths.

The contrast with the right side of the pitch was stark. One of the major positives from Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Asia has been Ben White and Bukayo Saka rekindling their chemistry on that flank. The pair combined well on several occasions and, especially in the second half, White had some joy against Spurs when overlapping.
