00:00Victor Jocheres. What would have to happen between now and the end of the season for him to be deemed
00:04a good signing? His performance versus Spurs was excellent, but it was A versus Spurs and B
00:09something of an anomaly in the context of the season. At the time of recording, he has 15 goals
00:13in all competitions and Arsenal are technically still on for the quadruple. Not bad, right? Well,
00:18as your grandad might say, football isn't played on paper, it's played on the pitch. And Jocheres
00:23has flattered to deceive so far. Let's extrapolate. If he ends the season on 20 plus goals in all
00:28competitions and Arsenal win either the league or the Champions League, which is very, very possible,
00:34has he been a good signing? That would make him Arsenal's highest scorer in a single season since
00:37prime Aubameyang in 2020. What if he doesn't score for the rest of the season, but Arsenal win the
00:42treble? Or is his success purely personal? If he ends the season on 30 goals, but Arsenal win nothing,
00:48can he even be deemed a success? I won't sit on the fence. 25 goals in all competitions and one
00:53of the
00:53Premier League or the Champions League, Jocheres has succeeded in both of his targets at Arsenal,
00:57which were to score goals and win a major trophy. It's been a funny seven months for the Swedish
01:01striker. The brunt of more criticism than anyone in the league, history might be very kind to him
01:07if the season finishes as it has started for him and his team.
