Mikel Arteta has challenged Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres to maintain the high standards he set during the Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea on Wednesday.
Gyokeres scored and assisted in Arsenal's 3-2 victory over Chelsea, securing a narrow first-leg advantage in the Carabao Cup.
Despite Arsenal leading the Premier League and Champions League, Gyokeres has experienced an inconsistent first season, marked by injury.
Arteta believes the £55m summer signing will be crucial in Arsenal's bid for the Premier League title, and wants him to maintain a “really good and consistent” level to be a success at the club.
Arsenal are set to face Nottingham Forest on Saturday, with a potential opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
