Cristhian Mosquera, of Arsenal, has lauded his teammate Viktor Gyokeres as an “animal” after experiencing his skill firsthand during training. Mosquera and Gyokeres joined Arsenal this summer, and both have left their imprint in the early weeks of the season.

Gyokeres, especialmente, foi aclamado como a solução para os problemas ofensivos de Mikel Arteta, tendo marcado impressionantes 97 gols em 102 partidas pelo Sporting CP. Embora ainda não tenha reproduzido suas façanhas goleadoras desde que voltou à Inglaterra, o atacante, mesmo assim, tem impressionado.

Spain under-23 international Mosquera emphasized the contrast between competing against Gyokeres and his former adversaries at Valencia. And he thinks it’s improving both him and the rest of Arteta’s defensive unit as a consequence.

“Gyokeres is a beast, an animal. “Training with him helps defenders improve,” he said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper AS. “Havia grandes jogadores no Valencia, mas treinar com jogadores de alto nível é um grande avanço.”

Viktor Gyokeres dealt major setback as Arsenal forward given nightmare situation
Arsenal signed Mosquera for £13 million, a small portion of the £64 million paid to Sporting for Gyokeres. Although he is less expensive, the young defender has displayed great potential, whether coming off the bench or starting games.
Gyokeres scored three goals in his first ten matches for Arsenal, with two of them coming in a 5-0 rout of Leeds in August.

Mosquera isn’t the first Arsenal defender to commend Gyokeres for the intensity with which he challenges his new teammates. Ben White, who played alongside the Swede at Brighton, has a deeper understanding than most and offered similar praise for his teammate last month.

“He’s a beast! He lives for goals, doesn’t he? “He’s a constant threat,” White said to Hayters TV in September. “Quando você está jogando contra ele, é melhor não ficar no caminho, porque ele simplesmente te empurra para o lado!”
“Ele é uma pessoa muito influente, e acho que será de grande ajuda o fato de ele já ter jogado no futebol inglês.” You see many players arriving in the Premier League without any experience of what it’s like, and it can be quite challenging.
