Mikel Arteta has shot a shot of warning to the rivals of the Arsenal Premier League, insisting that Viktor Gyokeres will be a nightmare to defend this space.
Swedish striker, signed by Sporting CP this summer for £ 64 million, opened his account for the Gunners in the victory of the Saturday preseason by 3-0 on Athletic Club.
His first goal at Arsenal Colors came in the 34th minute, when he got up to find the Cross of Martín Zubimendi and guided a header on the net.
Bukayo Saka and Kai Hartz joined the scoreboard, sealing a comfortable victory that allows Arsenal very well for the opening of the Premier League next weekend against Manchester United.
Gyokeras’ debut strike has raised the pressure of its shoulders, as the expectations are high after its prolific spell in Portugal.
Fans are already waiting for the 27 -year -old to replicate their score farms in English football, and Arteta made it clear how dangerous it may be the new arrival.
“Everything he does is instinct,” said Arsenal’s head. “That is why he has marked so many in recent seasons. Its goals is a threat, it puts the central centers and when you leave it with space 1v1 it will destroy you.”
Arsenal supporters saw these qualities against Atlético Club. Gyokeras’s movement constantly worried the visiting defense, while its game bond capacity allowed others to prosper.
Collaboration with Saka, who provided attendance for the end of Haviertz, seemed especially promising.
The result was a positive preseason for the Gunners, who seem sharp and prepared for competitive actions.
Liverpool and Manchester City are widely propelled to be the main challenging of Arsenal in the title race, but Arteta has made it clear that their new striker will be a key weapon to try to overcome them.
With Manchester United visiting the Emirates next weekend, all eyes will be on the Swedish impact on the league. If your first goal is to go, it could be the beginning of a prolific campaign in North London.
