nah nah more like Viktor Gyokeres forces his way into joining Arsenal by hook or crook 😤😤
as per reports he rejected advances from from Saudi clubs and man united , as his mind was already made up

But it's fair to say he's not the First preferred option when the summer window has opened , as Arsenal have already been talking to Sesko and Leipzig last summer.

as per reports Sesko didn't want to join Arsenal last summer , unsure about him displacing Havertz in the lineup , like come on if you have doubts about displacing havertz(good Cf , not clinical ) then how are you gonna be this top potential Cf they're talking about ?? Beta male

Arrival of Andrea Berta and his Transfers Strategy (Keeping multiple options open) led to further conflict between Sesko and Gyokeres , ultimately as per reports RB Leipzig were asking High and unrealistic fee and Berta moved on to Gyokeres.

Then there's this long saga between sporting cp president and arsenal regarding fee and addons , which ultimately sorted out for a reported fee around £63 million.

Now let's delve into Viktor Gyokeres sporting career and history

He began playing football at age 5 with local club IFK Aspudden-Tellus later he joined the Brommapojkarna academy at 16, initially as a wide player before converting to CF , broke into their first team although they are playing 2nd division in Sweden he helped them promote to the 1st division

His performances caught the eye of Brighton eventually joining them in 2018 and he went on multiple loans to St. Pauli (2nd division Germany)played as a winger , then a loan to Swansea , made mere 12 appearances later
he joined Coventry city(2nd division England) in 2021 , took a season to adjust and immediately became one of the best CF's in Championship

acc.to his manager Mark : " if he didn’t score after a game he’d be in a foul mood "

Coventry came close to Premier League promotion in 2023, losing in the playoff final vs Luton , due to his good season he had reported interest from multiple midtable clubs in the premiere league.

Sporting Lisbon paid a club-record €20 million + 4m addons for Gyokeres and the rest is history ... 
2 seasons = 2 League titles = 2 Golden boot(Top scorer) = 2 Team of the season selection 

He got close to 100 freaking goals and 30 assists in 2 seasons at Sporting cp in all competitions , which is a scary stat even though it is from Portuguese league 

this guy is all about goals and goals only 

As you can see from chart compared to forwards , he's in 90+ percentile in all attacking metrics (Again stats can be misleading he's from liga Portugal)

From what we understand from in real game play instead of stats is his Aerial ability isn't that good , he scored very few headers in his 100 goals , which is abnormal for his physical frame , anyway Nico Jover should take care off that 😆😆

Another thing he needs to improve is his Link-up play , he's used to taking shots at all angles even though there is a teammate in a better position to score !!

Arteta needs to polish out some of his rough edges and make him understand how the current Arsenal system works

We think Arsenal made a good signing in Gyokeres and Andrea Berta pulled off a Good deal 

Premier League viewers should be ready to see his Mask-Bane inspired celebration often , we predict him to score minimum 20 league goals in the 25/26 season 

We Welcome Viktor Gyokeres to The Arsenal  🔴 ⚪
