Viktor Gyokeres’ mentality and desire have been the keys to his incredible success, according to one of his former coaches.The Swedish striker completed his long-awaited transfer to Arsenal earlier
Financial details on the transfer were not disclosed but British media reported Arsenal agreed to pay 55 million pounds fixed upfront fee plus around 8 million pounds in add-ons for the 27-year-old.
Viktor Gyokeres was presented by Arsenal in Singapore before the 3-2 win against Newcastle, but it was Kai Havertz who stole the show in the opening 45 minutes. The Germany international grabbed two assists in the space of just two minutes to put Arsenal 2-1 up against the Magpies, showing real inventiveness to create space in congested areas.
Viktor Gyökeres is Arsenal’s sixth signing of the summer, but there is still work to be done in the transfer market.
The 27-year-old has penned a five-year contract with Arsenal, who have paid €63 million ($74m) plus €10m in add-ons for him. Gyokeres has become the fifth-most expensive signing in club history after Declan Rice, Nicolas Pepe, Kai Havertz and Martin Zubimendi, the latter arriving from Real Sociedad earlier this month for €70 million.
