Gyokeres’ move was backed by Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta, who convinced him that a move to Emirates Stadium was right for his career. The striker has expressed his gratitude for the support from Arsenal fans on social media, saying he wants to repay them in goals.
“I just felt that it was the right club for me,” Gyokeres revealed. “The team’s playing style and history of success drew him in. He is relishing the prospect of facing his former side Sporting Lisbon at Emirates Stadium soon.
