Gunners Captain Martin Odegaard ‘excited’ to have big Arsenal summer signing at Emirates

Martin Odegaard is full of praise for for new signing Viktor Gyokeres after ARSENAL pulled off the deal to bring the in-demand Swedish star to the Premier League in a deal worth over £60 million

The Swedish striker has taken the No.14 shirt at the Emirates, once worn by legend Thierry Henry. Arsenal have signed Gyokeres in a deal worth £63.5million, an initial £54.8m up front, with a further £8.7m in additional clauses.

The 27-year-old has penned a five-year deal worth around £300,000-a-week. The 6ft 2in ace crashed in 97 goals and 102 appearances for Sporting Lisbon, including a stunning Champions League hat-trick against Manchester City last season.

And after seeing the big striker in action over the past few days, The Gunners captain said: “I think you’ve all seen what he’s done in his career so far, especially the last season at Sporting, the numbers speak for themselves.

“He’s a very complete player. He’s physical, strong, fast, good finisher and intelligent as well.

“I think he’s a very complete striker and you can also see the hunger, the energy he brings. I’m really excited to have him with the team.

“He’s only trained a few times, but you can already see the quality, the energy and the willingness.”

In that ARSENAL attack, Gyokeres could score more than 50 goals again in the coming season, he really is one of the best forwards in the world and a man that many Gunners fans are excited about.

He will surely bang in 30 goals this coming season
