Viktor Gyokeres has been defended by Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit after he was left "alone" by his team-mates following his disappointing Gunners debut. Despite Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, the Swedish forward was left frustrated, failing to register a single shot on goal. His performance was a far cry from the explosive displays that saw him secure a £64 million ($86m) transfer from Sporting Lisbon, with many Gunners fans left questioning whether he could live up to his hefty price tag.

Former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has urged patience with Viktor Gyokeres after the Swedish striker endured a tough Premier League debut against Manchester United. Arsenal’s marquee summer signing lasted just 60 minutes before being replaced by Kai Havertz in the 1-0 win, failing to register a single shot and often appearing isolated against the United defence.

Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis says he rejected Paris Saint-Germain’s bid for Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia because of Antonio Conte.
