Welcome to Arsenal VIKTOR GYOKERES
Arsenal have confirmed signing of Viktor Gyรถkeres on five-year contract.
Swede will wear No.14 shirt & has flown to Singapore this evening.
Huge collective effort from Andrea Berta & admin/legal staff to finalise transfer, Mikel Arteta also played integral role during process.
From humble beginnings/numerous setbacks to the Emirates & Arsenal FC, it's all about ambition + drive. Gyรถkeres is bringing the heat and fire to Nth London. Think Wright, Henry, Auba - the next big killer. I can't wait to see this relentless gunman run out in a Gunners shirt ๐ฅท
Andrea Berta on Viktor Gyรถkeres: โWe are so pleased with the excellent deal we have completed to bring Gyรถkeres to the club. Viktor is an exceptional talent and has consistently demonstrated he has the qualities and winning mentality required of a top-level centre-forward.โ
Arteta: โWeโre absolutely delighted to welcome Viktor Gyรถkeres to the club. The consistency he has shown in his performances and availability have been outstanding, and his goal contributions speak for themselves.
โViktor has so many qualities. He is a quick and powerful presence up front, with incredible goalscoring numbers at club and international levels. He brings a clinical edge with a high conversion rate of chances into goals, with his intelligent movement in the box making him a constant threat.
โWeโre excited about what Viktor brings to our squad and are looking forward to start working with him.โ
Viktor Gyรถkeres on choosing Arsenal: โI just felt that it was the right club for me, What I heard from Mikel and Andrea when I was speaking with them, and just what I've seen in the past years, how they've been playing football. When I was playing against Arsenal last season, I could really feel it was a very strong team and very difficult to play against.
โThat made me choose Arsenal, and of course all the history the club has and the massive fanbase. It's been amazing to see all the support that they have already given me before I even arrived. That's what it's all about. It's going to be very nice to see them in the stadiums as well.โ
Gyรถkeres: โI always want to score, To be a part of this club and to score in this kit and with this badge in front of all the supporters, I can't wait. It will be an amazing feeling.
โI started here [in England], it feels like a long time ago. I think I've improved a lot since then. Now I want to prove myself for real and perform together with the team.
โIt's a big honour to play for your country, and then to score goals for them is amazing. When I played at Sporting, I scored a few goals in the Champions League so I feel that I can be on that level as well. Now to come here to a club on Arsenal's level, I think it's going to help me perform even better with all the amazing players in this team. I'm really excited to get going.โ
