Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen has urged Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to start Viktor Gyokeres in attack against Paris Saint-Germain in Saturday’s UEFA Champions League final in Budapest.
Owen believes the Sweden international has developed into a major attacking threat and could trouble PSG’s defence with his recent form.
“I think Gyokeres has to start in the Champions League final, a hundred per cent yes,” Owen told Metro.
“He has been in outstanding form, scoring goals, contributing to goals and leading the line really well in recent weeks, and he is now a real threat up front for Arsenal.
“In the Champions League semi-finals, he played well, and I think he can cause PSG problems because defensively they aren’t as strong.”
