Mikel Arteta was optimistic about what is to come for Viktor Gyokeres after the new Arsenal striker made his debut in a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Mikel Arteta believes £64m ($86m) striker Viktor Gyokeres is making progress at Arsenal ahead of the 2025-26 Premier League opener at Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo hailed former Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres as a 'special player' following the striker's move to Arsenal this summer. Gyokeres signed for the Gunners for a whopping £64 million (€74m/$86m) transfer fee, including bonuses related to appearances, goals and assists. The striker was in demand in the transfer market after a successful season at Sporting, where he scored 54 goals.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta heaped praise on new signing Viktor Gyokeres, who scored his first goal for the Gunners since his move to North London from Sporting CP this summer. The Premier League giants thrashed La Liga side Athletic Club 3-0 in their final pre-season friendly courtesy of goals from Gyokeres, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz.
Ruben Amorim will come face-to-face with his former player Viktor Gyokeres when Manchester United host Arsenal on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. The pair lifted two league titles together at Sporting CP, but while the Sweden international has since moved to the Gunners in a £63.5 million deal, Amorim insists United are focused on the team and not just one player.
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres endured a frustrating Premier League debut at Old Trafford as the £64 million ($87m) summer signing failed to register a single shot during his side’s 1-0 win over Manchester United. The Swedish forward saw his 69-match streak of attempting at least one effort in league games come to an end during a dull outing in front of goal despite Arsenal sealing all three points.
