Viktor Gyokerres’ Arsenal team and that says a lot

Viktor Gyokerres received his Arsenal team number while the highly anticipated transfer of the attacker ends and his selection speaks volumes about the character that the Gunners have signed.

Gyokerres is expected to arrive in London on Friday to make a change of 63.8 million pounds sterling by Sporting CP, ending the long pursuit of a center-forward.

After having signed for Sporting de Coventry for 20 million euros (17.5 million pounds Sterling) in 2023, the Swedish managed to score 97 goals in 102 games.

He aroused the interest of Manchester United as well as Arsenal, but Gyokerres clearly indicated that he wanted to play in the Champions League.

Now it appeared that Arsenal has concluded a complete agreement with Sporting CP to sign the attacker.

Athletics reported that Gyokerres had been allowed to travel and undergo its Medical Arsenal on Saturday.

And he will wear the emblematic shirt number 14, a number made famous by the legendary Thierry Henry.

The Frenchman wore the number 14 throughout his first fate in Arsenal, during which he led the club to two league titles and two FA cups.

For many fans, Henry is the greatest player in the history of the Premier League and Gyoker’s decision to take his number suggests that Arsenal signs a player full of confidence that he can meet expectations to wear this number.

Gyokerres becomes the fourth player from Henry to wear the number, according to the traces of Theo Walcott, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and, more recently, Eddie Nketiah.

When will Viktor Gyoker join Arsenal?

Mikel Arteta hoped to have gyoker in the team for their pre-season tour in Asia.

But Arsenal has already played his first match in Singapore, beating AC Milan 1-0 thanks to a winner of Bukayo Saka.

Arsenal was one of the busiest clubs on this summer window, signing five senior players before gyoker.

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and midfielder Christian Norgaard have arrived to improve the depth of the team for what should be another long campaign.

They finally followed their long -standing interest for the Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who signed 61 million pounds of the Real Sociedad.

The Noni Madueke winger moved from Chelsea for an agreement that could reach 52 million pounds sterling.

Although the 23 -year -old generally plays the right, he should provide competition to Gabriel Martinelli on the left.

In defense, the move of Cristhian Mosquera de Valencia for 13 million pounds sterling has been confirmed and it is intended to add depth behind the central duo of first choice William Saliba and Gabriel.

After a summer of change to the Emirates, Arteta will appreciate the training time he can get with his team before the season.

The new campaign begins in three weeks with a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.

For Gyokerres, he could receive his Arsenal debut against his former manager Ruben Amorim.

He marks the start of a difficult start for Arsenal, who will also play Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle at the end of September.
