Gyokeres, who joined Arsenal from Sporting CP during the summer transfer window, has already scored three goals for the club.
“Many have commented on him [Viktor Gyokeres] not scoring enough goals,” Walcott was quoted by Metro UK as saying.
“However, in my view, he is creating chaos, generating chances for others, and maximizing the performance of his teammates.
