The excitement among Arsenal supporters has been palpable over the past five days following the official confirmation of Viktor Gyökeres’s £63.5 million transfer.
The 27-year-old, who rejected Manchester United in favour of a move to Arsenal, has been signed to remedy the club’s centre forward issues, and he was offered his first minutes in a red shirt on Thursday during a pre-season north London derby with Tottenham Hotspur.
Gyökeres was a second-half substitute during Arsenal’s tepid 1–0 defeat to Spurs and was met with rapturous applause by the red half of Kai Tak Sports Park upon arrival in Hong Kong. However, his first appearance didn’t quite go to plan.
Here’s how Gyökeres performed on his unofficial debut.
