Gyokeres has had a strong start to his Premier League career with Arsenal, scoring three goals in his first four matches.
His third goal came against Nottingham Forest, as Arsenal delivered a dominant 3-0 win under new manager Ange Postecoglou.
Despite his positive start, Shearer believes that Arteta can help Gyokeres reach his full potential by providing early balls into the box.
This strategy would allow Gyokeres to receive the ball in a favorable position and make a simple finish, as seen in his second-half strike against Nottingham Forest.
Shearer notes that this approach would be particularly effective for Gyokeres, as it would kill defenders' momentum and give him the opportunity to thrive.
He also acknowledges that there is a fine balance between providing early balls and allowing Gyokeres to use his skills to beat defenders, but believes that the former is a key factor in unlocking the striker's full potential.
Shearer concludes that he was impressed with Arsenal's performance against Nottingham Forest and believes that Arteta's team is heading in the right direction.
