UCL: ‘He’s a real threat’ – Michael Owen tells Arteta striker to start against PSG

Former Manchester United striker, Michael Owen, has urged Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to start Viktor Gyokeres in the centre-forward position against Paris Saint-Germain.

Owen believes the Sweden international is now a real threat in the attack and can cause some problems for PSG’s defense.

Arsenal and PSG will clash in the Champions League final on Saturday evening in Budapest.

“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 as defensively they aren’t as strong.”
