Gyokeres said he was also pleased with the love of fans and eager to see them in the stadiums.
“I just felt it was the right club for me,” he said. “What I have heard from Mikel and Andrea when I talked to them, and exactly what I’ve seen in recent years, how they played football. When I played against Arsenal last season, I really felt it was a very strong team and very difficult to play.”
“Thanks to that, I chose Arsenal and of course all the history of the club, and the massive fanbase. It was amazing to see all the support they had already given me before I arrived.
“I always want a score”
After several unsuccessful years in England, Gyokers made a name in Sporting, where he scored 97 goals in 102 shows. The Swedish frontman said he aims to score a score and is ready to accept the same role with Arsenal.
“I always want a score,” he said. “To be part of this club and the score in this set and with this badge in front of all supporters, I can’t wait. It will be a wonderful feeling.”
“I started here (in England), it feels like long ago. I think I’ve improved a lot since then. Now I want to prove to the real and play with the team,” Gyokeres said.
