Second in the Premier League for the third year in a row, Arsenal this time intends to win a title that has escaped it since 2004. To do this, the London club has put the little dishes in the big ones in order to offer the best possible team to Coach Mikel Arteta. Thus, Noni Madueke arrived from Chelsea in attack just like goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. In the middle, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard arrived from Real Sociedad and Brentford respectively while Cristhian Mosquera also put his suitcases in London.
An ambitious recruitment to which an element was missing, a complete center-forward capable of stacking the goals. With Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus in this sector while Mikel Merino can help out, Arsenal has talent available, but lacked a real killer in front of the goal. Logically, a name came out, that of the cannibal Viktor Gyökeres author of 54 goals and 13 assists in 52 games last season.
Viktor Gyökeres returns to England
Double champion of Portugal with Sporting CP where he scored 97 goals and delivered 28 assists in 102 games since his arrival from Coventry for 24 million euros in the summer of 2023, Viktor Gyökeres will therefore make his comeback on the side of England. A country where he had shone in Championship with Coventry but his previous experience in the Premier League with Brighton had been more complicated. More mature and now transformed into a goal machine, he passes into the big leagues at Arsenal.
The Gunners thus paid 63.5 million euros plus 10 million euros for Viktor Gyökeres. The London club announced the news in a press release: “We are delighted to announce that the Swedish international Viktor Gyökeres has signed a long -term contract with us. Sports director Andrea Berta said: We are delighted with the excellent agreement concluded for the arrival of Viktor Gyökeres at the club. Viktor is an exceptional talent and has constantly demonstrated that he had the qualities and the victor's mind required for a high level center. His physique, his intelligence and his sense of work make him an ideal candidate for our vision. “We are convinced that Viktor will have a major impact on the field and will become an important figure of our locker room. Welcome, Viktor!”
