Arsenal new-boy Viktor Gyokeres given minuscule chance of winning Premier League Golden Boot by supercomputer

VIKTOR GYOKERES may be the third favourite to win the Golden Boot this season.

But he still has a minuscule chance according to a supercomputer.

Arsenal splashed out £63.5million to land a striker at long last.

The Swedish international, 27, will be tasked with scoring the goals and fire Arsenal to a first Premier League title since 2004.

And he will do so in the No14 shirt famously worn by Thierry Henry.

But the CasinoHawks supercomputer reckons Gyokeres is highly unlikely to pick up the famous trophy.

That is because the number-crunching machine churned out an xG of 16.3 for his debut season in England.

But that is less than the predictions for both Erling Haaland and Mo Salah.

The pair have won the last three Golden Boots between them – Salah’s triumph last term on 29 goals was his fourth gong.

The Egyptian’s xG for this season is 18.2 while Haaland’s is way ahead on 24.3.

And that works out as the Norwegian boasting a whopping 64.9 per cent chance of winning the Golden Boot come the end of the season.

Salah’s chances, meanwhile, stand at 11 per cent.

Gyokeres, though, is all the way back on just 4.9 per cent.

That puts him third and narrowly ahead of Chris Wood (4.4 per cent) in fourth – although CasinoHawks left Alexander Isak off the list with the Newcastle striker’s transfer future unclear.

Cole Palmer (1.9 per cent), Ollie Watkins (1.2 per cent), Jean-Philippe Mateta (1.0 per cent) and Yoane Wissa (1.0 per cent) are the only other players with at least one per cent of being crowned top scorer this term.

Liverpool’s new Prem arrivals Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz have been given very slim chances – with 0.05 and 0.01 per cent respectively.

The data machine reckons Jorgen Strand Larsen (0.04 per cent) is more likely to win the Golden Boot than Bryan Mbeumo (0.03 per cent), Liam Delap (0.03 per cent), Omar Marmoush (0.02 per cent) and Joao Pedro (0.01 per cent).

And it is bad news for Manchester United’s summer signing Matheus Cunha whose hopes of topping the scoring charts stand at a staggering 0.00 per cent.
