Has Gyökeres Finally Proven His Worth at Arsenal? Is Southgate Hinting at a Return to Football?

Has Gyökeres Finally Proven His Worth at Arsenal? Is Southgate Hinting at a Return to Football?

Author: Sky Sports January 15, 2026 Duration: 50:39
Tom White and Darragh MacAnthony assess Arsenal’s 3–2 win at Stamford Bridge. After a goal and an assist in the Carabao Cup semi-final, we ask whether Viktor Gyökeres has finally proven his worth. Arsenal fan Toby joins the discussion, arguing that Gyökeres’ physicality is back after his return from injury.

The focus then shifts to Sir Gareth Southgate, who recently called for football to “embrace a modernised version of the traditional manager.”  We consider ‘the coach vs manager debate’ and ask whether Southgate may be hinting at a return to football.

Then we turn our attention to the transfer market. Darragh believes Conor Gallagher’s move to Spurs is exactly what Thomas Frank’s side need, while Aston Villa fan Sam joins us to analyse Donyell Malen’s move from Aston Villa to Roma.

And finally, we’re joined by Chelsea fan Henry to discuss whether there are reasons to be optimistic under Liam Rosenior.
