Victor Gyokeres can be quite clinical with a soccer ball at his feet, but the same cannot be said when he puts a golf club in his hand.
The Arsenal striker enjoyed a break with team-mate Ben White this week and shared a clip from a round of golf.
Away from the usual pressure of Premier League football, supporters are having some really funny moments.
Gyokeres stood up, preparing to fly the ball down the course. Instead, he swung and somehow managed to miss it completely.
White’s reaction probably made things even better.
Ben White couldn’t stop laughing after the Gyokeres golf game
Gyokeres prepared carefully before hitting his shot, only for the club to go straight past the ball.

For a striker whose entire job revolves around making clean contact, it wasn’t his best finish.
White immediately burst into laughter as Gyokeres stood there looking a little silly.
That moment also showed the close relationship between the couple. White and Gyokeres actually go back a long way, having spent time together at Brighton before their careers took very different routes, eventually bringing them together at Arsenal.
White previously spoke highly of his teammate, telling the Standard: “He’s a monster! He lives for goals, doesn’t he?”
Obviously, golf is another story.
Arsenal fans will enjoy seeing the lighter side of Gyokeres
Football players spend most of their lives under the microscope, so clips like this are refreshing.
There was no tactical debate, no transfer speculation, no pressure on him. It just revolved around two Arsenal team-mates and one of them producing a golf swing that will probably want to be removed from the internet.
Gyokeres will not worry too much. He has been in strong form for Sweden during the international break, scoring regularly in the Nations League even if Arsenal have had a quieter start to the season.
If things don’t go perfectly when club football returns, White now has the perfect reminder for him.
Regardless, Gokeres should probably stick to football for now.
Arsenal have been linked with a striker who has “ice-cold accuracy” but faces competition from Man United
