Gyokeres is a forward-thinking player who loves to run in behind, work the channels, and his first thought on the ball is whether he can shoot. However, he’s not an archetypal penalty-box poacher; aerial duels and receiving crosses aren’t his biggest strengths.

Arsenal have done big business already in this summer transfer window, but they are not done yet. Six new players have arrived at the Emirates Stadium, with eight leaving in what has been quite the overhaul under manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta.

Viktor Gyokeres’ representative has accused Sporting CP of creating a ‘mess’ by offering Manchester United the chance to sign the striker ahead of Arsenal. Mikel Arteta’s side finally completed their £64 million deal to sign the 27-year-old last weekend following several weeks of negotiations with the Portuguese champions.
