TA: Yorke 68 goals in the league in the past two years, with poor heading at the top

The Athletic reported that Swedish striker Yorkez has scored 68 goals in the league since joining Portugal Sports two summers ago, more than twice the number of any other Portuguese Super League player in the same period. As a great finisher, he was able to create a stunning impact on both sides of the penalty area.

Yorcres, however, is worth much more than that. He is not only good at precise shooting and grabbing points in the penalty area, but also an excellent runner, fast speed, strong explosive power, and has the ability to sprint repeatedly at high intensity. Through SkillCorner's running data analysis, it can be seen that compared with other strikers in the top seven European leagues, Yorke often aims at the space behind the opponent's defense, or pulls the ball to run, willing to drive the ball and break through the defense and cut in and shoot.

Despite this, the competition in the Premier League is more intense, and while Yorke is physically good enough to deal with the strongest centre-back, he may not have as much offensive space in a team like Arsenal that focuses on ball possession and patience in the offense. In addition, he is not outstanding in the air scrambling, and has no record of heading in the league last season.

But anyway, Yorke is a tough opponent, a reliable scorer, a tireless runner, and a ruthless No. 9 player who is able to turn half of the chance into goals. If the Premier League team believes that they have figured out Arsenal under Arteta's coach, then this signing will undoubtedly bring them new challenges.
