A report from David Ornstein last week shows that they &#8220;do a lot of work&#8221; on the possibility of signing the Slovenians.<\/p>\n<p>However, Berta&#8217;s pick looks like another Swedes in the form of Victor Gyoker, who had owned before the goal for the past two seasons.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  tag medium  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"a504-45cb-82fe75dff7ed\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<div class=\"w-img \"><\/div>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transfer_focus\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\t\tTransfer focus<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-description\">Mega Money deals, controversial moves, famous flops.

He is ahead of Isaac due to goal involvement, and that is rather saying it all.<\/p>\n<p>Toon Forward was very impressive with his own rights, but boasts a mere 27 goals in all competitions compared. Of course, it&#8217;s impressive, but this is a man who could cost even in the \u00a3150 million area. At Gyokeres, Arsenal can get more money, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is a debate that suggests that Arsenal needs a scorer and that they can get a more complete package here.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Gyokeres vs Isak in 2024\/25<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Metrics (per 90 minutes)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>gyoker<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Isaac<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>shot<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>4.07<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>The pass is complete<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>16.2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>16.7<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Passing success rate<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>71%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>74%<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Key Pass<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>1.96<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.39<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Progressive Pass<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2.18<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>2.84<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Shot creation action<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>4.90<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.07<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>A successful take-on<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>1.92<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.42<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Progressive Carry<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>4.20<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2.77<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>A duel won<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>1.15<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>0.88<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Statistics via FBREF.<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>One thing that needs to be said is that Isak is playing in a better league, but even so, some of the numbers Gyoker has registered in Iberia are simply off the charts.<\/p>\n<p>While he scores multiple goals per game, he is proven to be more creative than Isaac &#8211; just &#8211; he carries the ball more regularly and he is more likely to win an air duel on you.
