BRAND NEW signing OFFICIALLY reveals why he’s joined Arsenal

Viktor Gyokeres has revealed in his first interview as an ARSENAL player what made him choose a move to North London after the in-demand striker finally made the move away from Sporting Lisbon this transfer window.

Arsenal have signed Gyokeres in a deal worth £63.5million, an initial £54.8m up front, with a further £8.7m in additional clauses, and it has been reported that the 27-year-old has penned a five-year deal worth around £300,000-a-week.

The Swedish striker has taken the No.14 shirt at the Emirates, once worn by legend Thierry Henry, and now he has has opened up and revealed what made him choose to make the move to Arsenal this summer – the Gunners’ new striker said: “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.

“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, 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.”

ARSENAL fans have been calling for a new striker to be signed, have been calling for someone that can lead that front-line, and now the Gunners have one of the best in world football.

52 goals last season, the man is deadly and if he can handle the Premier League, Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea will be worried.
