Viktor Gyökeres is finally an arsenal player. After weeks of rumors, negotiations and tensions with Sporting CP, one of the most intense soap operators of this transfer window experienced its epilogue: the Gunners paid nearly 73.5 million euros to afford the Swedish scorer, author of 54 goals all competitions made last season with Sporting CP. At 27, the new number 14 of the Gunners says he is ready to cross a CAP in the Premier League, in an environment he considers ideal.
“I just felt that it was the right club for me”said the Arsenal striker. Seduced by exchanges with Mikel Arteta and the club project, Gyökeres did not hesitate long. “When I played against them, I really felt that it was a very strong team, very difficult to face. And then, the history of the club, its community of supporters … it’s incredible. ” Determined to make him forget his discreet passage to Brighton, he intends to make an impression this time: “I want to be part of this club and score with this jersey, I can’t wait. »»
