Wayne Rooney has heaped praise on Viktor Gyokeres, tipping the Arsenal striker to be the decisive factor as the Gunners chase a historic double this season. With the Premier League and Champions League titles both within reach, Arsenal are just three wins away from an unforgettable campaign under Mikel Arteta.

After a busy summer transfer window, Arsenal's squad depth has been the foundation of their success. They've powered through to the Champions League final, improving on last year's semi-final appearance, and sit on the cusp of domestic glory. Among the new arrivals, Gyokeres has stood out as a game-changer.

The Swedish forward has brought more than just goals to the Emirates. His relentless movement, physical presence, and work rate have added a new dimension to Arsenal's attack. He's not only found the back of the net himself but has also created space for creative players like Eberechi Eze to thrive in advanced positions.

Rooney, speaking to Football365, highlighted exactly what makes Gyokeres so valuable. "What he brings to that Arsenal team is that he occupies defenders. He makes them work, he makes them defend, he runs the channels. And what we've seen recently is that it's creating more space for Eze and for others," the Manchester United legend explained.

As the season reaches its climax, Arsenal will lean heavily on Gyokeres to deliver in the biggest moments. If his form so far is anything to go by, the Gunners faithful have every reason to believe he can lead them to glory.
