Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen has strongly recommended Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to start Viktor Gyokeres in the center-forward position for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday evening in Budapest. Owen believes the Sweden international has become 'a real threat' up front for Arsenal, citing his 'outstanding form' in recent weeks where he has been scoring goals and leading the line effectively. According to Owen, Gyokeres can exploit PSG's defensive weaknesses, which he described as 'not as strong' in the Champions League semi-finals. The former Arsenal player's endorsement of Gyokeres comes as tactical advice for Arteta ahead of this crucial final match. Nigerian fans following Arsenal's Champions campaign might want to consider how this unorthodox choice could impact the match's outcome, especially with the trophy presentation by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry adding extra significance to the occasion.
