On BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, former Premier League midfielder Charlie Adam and The Observer's Rory Smith discussed Viktor Gyokeres' season to date.

Smith said: "I do wonder whether Gyokeres suffers in comparison to Erling Haaland because Haaland has redefined the numbers that we think count as good for a striker.

"Although Gyokeres has had a solid season in terms of 21 goals, 14 in the league now – they're decent numbers – because Haaland scored 50 before Christmas or whatever it looks like Gyokeres is a level below.

"I think the problem there is that Haaland is a total outlier statistically and you can't compare people to him."

Adam added: "Arteta might be asking Gyokeres to do different little things, coming linking the play and then ultimately when he comes to link the play he's further away from goal.

"I think he's had a good season and what would make it into a very good season would be if they could cap it off and win a trophy."
