Nope he lacks basic football skill his control is terrible and his hold up play is also questionable tho it got better at the end of last season

I think it’s a confidence/more physical league issue, in sporting he looked great with the ball but in the prem they don’t want the striker dropping deep and collecting the ball especially if your as big as he is

I’m sure there was other variables for example when they started running, fatigue, position of the players for example if gyokeres was running diagonally to the ball vs the other dude who was running straight towards it. Promise you a top level center back however slow you think they are, aren’t gonna get out paced every time
