Arsenal's long search for a striker is finally over with Viktor Gyokeres now in the building and William Saliba reckons his new team-mate will terrorise Premier League defences

Arsenal star William Saliba says Premier League defenders are in for a ‘scary’ ride next season following Viktor Gyokeres’ arrival from Sporting.

ARSENAL have a huge summer of change on their hands – and there are some huge deals are in the pipeline! And the club been given a major boost in the race to land Real Madrid star Rodrygo.

Swedish international Viktor Gyokeres is unveiled as Arsenal's new striker to cheering fans in Singapore's National Stadium ahead of a friendly clash against Newcastle United, with manager Mikel Arteta expressing his joy at the latest signing.

Arsenal managed to get the announcement done quickly on Saturday night, so there’s no need to hide the transfer anymore. But with the deal happening so late, there’s also no chance that Gyokeres will be playing in Sunday’s game against Newcastle.

Gyökeres is now heading to Singapore to join his new teammates. It's the end of a protracted transfer saga. At one point, the deal with Sporting Lisbon threatened to fall apart, but a deal was finally agreed. The Gunners are reportedly transferring €63.5m to Portugal for the 26-time capped international. A further €10m could follow in bonuses.
