Piers Morgan Makes Huge Viktor Gyokeres Claim While Watching Burnley vs Arsenal

Piers Morgan has made a major claim about Viktor Gyokeres while watching Arsenal take on Burnley at Turf Moor.

Gunners supporter Morgan watched on as Arsenal took a two-goal lead into half-time in east Lancashire.

Gyokeres opened the scoring for Mikel Arteta's side, heading in from close range after Declan Rice's corner had been flicked on by Gabriel.

Rice himself then made it 2-0 with a header on 35 minutes after Leandro Trossard's cross.

Gyokeres was heavily involved in the goal again, firing a superb driven pass cross-field to Trossard, who produced a pinpoint delivery for the assist.

The win sees Arteta's side go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table at full-time, and will end the weekend at most six points clear depending on the result involving second-placed Bournemouth and fourth-placed Manchester City.

They have now gone seven games in all competitions without conceding a goal, while Gyokeres, who was substituted at half-time at Turf Moor, has three goals in his last three appearances.

Taking to Twitter during the match, Morgan gave glowing praise to the Sweden international striker, who signed for Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon for a fee of £55 million, plus future add-ons, in the summer.

He simply wrote: "This guy is going to be an Arsenal legend... #Gyokeres."

Morgan later added: "Watching Arsenal play magnificent football, at 35000ft altitude, with a pleasing cheese/fruit plate, is a deeply enjoyable way to spend a Saturday morning flying from LA-NYC."

Arteta on Gyokeres

Speaking earlier this month, Arteta said that Gyokeres makes Arsenal 'a better team' when he plays - and spoke about the other attributes he brings to the squad.

"His robustness is something really good," he said. "He is full of confidence, and when you look at him every single day, you see how miuch he wants it.

"Viktor has so many things that probably are not noticeable. But as well, he creates environment and space and solutions to a lot of the players around him. And with the talent that we have in the team, I'm sure that everybody, him included, will benefit from that."
