Arsenal have finally got their man: the missing piece.
Acquiring a sharpshooter in front of goal was the Gunners’ distinct priority entering the summer window off the back of a frustrating 2024–25 season which manifested domestic regression.
Mikel Arteta’s side are close, and the addition of Viktor Gyökeres, who scored a staggering 97 goals during his two seasons with Sporting CP, may well be the talismanic presence who converts enough draws into victories to help Arsenal finally claim Premier League glory.
Gyökeres, all things considered, is exactly where he wants to be, but expectations are sky-high and the pressure will be on the Swedish hitman to deliver right away. His £55 million ($74 million) move was confirmed on Saturday, and supporters won’t have to wait very long to see their new man in action.
However, will he be involved in Sunday’s friendly against Newcastle United?
