Viktor Gyokeres 'is in very good form,' claims Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson, as coach launches staunch defence of Arsenal striker

Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson has defended Viktor Gyokeres' early-season form, dismissing claims that the Arsenal striker is not making an impact in matches.

Gyokeres, 27, has made a slow start to life in north London, following his £64million move from Sporting CP during the summer.

After scoring three goals in his first four games for the club, the Swedish frontman has since blanked in front of goal in his last six games in all competitions - starting all but one of those matches.

Gyokeres' lack of goals has led people to question whether he is having a negative effect on the Arsenal team.
