New Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has revealed the decisive factors behind his choice to join the Gunners, despite having the opportunity to reunite with his former manager Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.
The 27-year-old Swedish international completed his highly anticipated move from Sporting CP on Saturday and has been assigned the iconic No. 14 shirt at the Emirates Stadium for the upcoming season.
Speaking about his decision, Gyokeres emphasized that Arsenal simply felt like the perfect fit for his career ambitions.
"I 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," Gyokeres explained.
The striker further revealed that his experience facing Arsenal last season significantly influenced his decision: "When I was playing against Arsenal last season, I could really feel it was a very strong team and very difficult to play against. That made me choose Arsenal."
This transfer marks a significant coup for Arsenal in what has been an active transfer window across the Premier League. The Gunners have been strategic in their recruitment, also confirming a deal for Mosquera as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Reports suggest Arsenal may not be finished with their transfer business yet, with Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze potentially next on their radar following the completion of the Gyokeres deal.
The Swedish striker's arrival adds significant firepower to Mikel Arteta's attacking options as Arsenal continue their pursuit of Premier League glory after coming close in recent seasons.
