Arsenal and Viktor Gyökeres resemble a new couple still learning about each other. The chemistry’s not yet right. Doubts grow about their compatibility, about whether they rushed into the relationship and should the team return to old flames like Gabriel Jesus or Kai Havertz or the versatile Mikel Merino.
