Michael Owen has urged Mikel Arteta to start Viktor Gyokeres in Arsenal’s Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday in Budapest.
The former Manchester United striker believes the Sweden international is now a real attacking threat and can cause problems for PSG’s defence.
“I think Gyokeres has to start in the Champions League final, a hundred per cent yes,” Owen told Metro. He pointed to the striker’s recent form, saying Gyokeres has been scoring, creating goals and leading the line well in recent weeks.

“In the Champions League semi-finals, he played well, and I think he can cause PSG problems as defensively they aren’t as strong,” Owen added.
