"I think for Arsenal to really realize their ambitions, he's going to have to start scoring a lot of goals," Lineker told The Rest is Football podcast. "I think it's a big spell coming up for him over the next few games."

But I do think he brings something to the Arsenal team. He's only got three up to now, but they are looking really impressive as a team, and I think he has added something different to the team.

"I also think that even though he's not banged loads of goals in yet, but he's got his fair share, Gyokeres, I think he gives them something different," he said. So I think it's quite promising for Arsenal.
