Former Arsenal star David Seaman has called on manager Mikel Arteta to play Viktor Gyokeres as the Gunners’ number nine ahead of Mikel Merino.

Seaman spoke ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League tie with Brentford on Wednesday.

This comes after Arteta opted to start Merino in the number nine position for the Gunners ahead of Gyokeres against Chelsea on Sunday.

“When you look at Merino, he is more of a false nine, he drops back quite a lot,” Seaman told talkSPORT.

“When you have got Gyokeres in there, he is an out-and-out striker, he gives you that option of holding the ball up and letting us get out.

“I think it depends on what style Arsenal are going to play. If that is what you want to do then Merino stays in there, but for me, I would play Gyokeres.”
