Captain Martin Ødegaard has welcomed Martin Zubimendi, Christian Nørgaard and Noni Mandueke earlier this summer, this week the centre-back talent Cristhian Mosquera also arrived. Now finally comes the last and probably the most important. That says a lot about the expectations for Viktor Gyökeres when he is awarded Arsenal icon Thierry Henry’s No. 14.
After a totally chaotic process and Gyökeres on strike, the clubs have now come to an agreement. The Athletic reports Arsenal have struck a full deal with Sporting for Gyokeres, paying an initial £54.8 million plus £9.2 million in addition to Sporting. The Swedish striker has now been given permission to travel to London for a medical examination on Saturday. With personal terms and final clauses now in place, the deal is ready to be finalized.

He also knows that he is coming to a top club on the offensive, with one of the Premier League’s best coaches and captains.
