Gyokeres moved to Emirates Stadium for £55M during the summer of 2025 and has since eight goals in all competitions since the start of 2026.
His has 15 goals for the season across all competitions for The Gunners who will be delighted with his form as of late, with no Premier League player scoring more than him in 2026.
Arsenal are top of the league by 5 points and could extend that lead to 8 with a win over Chelsea this weekend. Speaking to Betfair, Shearer suggested that if they go all the way then Gyokeres will be worth his price tag.
“If Arsenal go ahead and win the league, then it's money well spent on Viktor Gyokeres. He had a slow start, but what I like is his attitude. He doesn't shy away from anything and he never stops running.
“If he ever needed it, his two goals last week against their rivals will do his belief the world of good. One, with it being against Tottenham and two, how important those goals might actually be.
“It was a game Arsenal had to win last weekend in the North London Derby. Because of the noise, chucking away the two-goal lead at Wolves, and the way City have been winning, there was massive pressure. It was the right response.
“They go again at the weekend against Chelsea. It wouldn't surprise me if it was won by a corner, because Arsenal are brilliant at them and Chelsea are really poor.”
Arsenal have 10 games left to secure the title and could be crowned champions before the season is up, depending on Manchester City’s results as they try to catch up.
