Viktor Gyokeres has completed his transfer to Arsenal from Sporting CP. Gyokeres will cost Arsenal $74 million plus $11.7 million in add-ons. Gyokeres will sign a five-year contract with Arsenal and wear No. 14 for the club.
\"We\'re absolutely delighted to welcome Viktor Gyökeres to the club,\" Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta said in a statement. \"The consistency he has shown in his performances and availability have been outstanding, and his goal contributions speak for themselves.
\"Viktor has so many qualities. He is a quick and powerful presence up front, with incredible goalscoring numbers at club and international levels. He brings a clinical edge with a high conversion rate of chances into goals, with his intelligent movement in the box making him a constant threat.
\"We\'re excited about what Viktor brings to our squad and are looking forward to start working with him. We welcome Viktor and his family to Arsenal.\"
Arsenal has long sought an upgrade at striker as they have relied upon makeshift options for the past few seasons. Gyokeres scored 68 league goals in just 66 appearances in Portugal. Gyokeres joined Sporting from Coventry City in 2023.
