Gyokeres, 27, and his team-mates are top of the Premier League table by nine points with only seven games to go.
The Gunners are also unbeaten in the Champions League and have one foot in the semi-finals thanks to Tuesday's late 1-0 win against Sporting Lisbon. But following their recent defeat by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final and loss at Southampton in the FA Cup last weekend, there's even more pressure on Arsenal to deliver.
Mikel Arteta's side have been accused of playing with fear in recent weeks, and while Gyokeres understands the nerves, he believes that they can be a force for good. In an exclusive interview with football.london, the striker explained: "I think if you feel nerves, I think it means that it matters for you.
"I think it's not bad if you take it in the right way and you put that energy in the right direction. So to have nerves, I think it's not a bad thing. It's just bad if you convert it into something negative, and it depends on how you handle those emotions."
"It's always the best feeling if we win games and I score as many goals as I can in the game, that's the best feeling as a striker, no matter what anyone says," Gyokeres said.
"I think everyone who plays as a nine wants that, but then that's not the reality. You're going to have games where you don't score, maybe you didn't get the chances, or you didn't take them.
"Just stay focused and be ready because it's going to come. And when it comes, you have to be ready."
Gyokeres joined Arsenal from Sporting CP last summer for £55 million and took time to find his feet in north London before a rich run of form in 2026 — eight Premier League goals since the turn of the year, the best return in the division in that period.
Arsenal have not won the league title since 2004. Seven games stand between them and ending that wait.
