Mikel Arteta has been impressed by the “conviction” shown by the new Viktor Gyokeres signature, particularly his decision to claim the 14th Thierry Henry t -shirt.
Henry scored a 228 goals for the Gunners through two memorable spells, but this has not deterred the gyokeras despite the added pressure that can result in.
The Sweden International joined the Arsenal from Sporting CP for the first time of 55 million pounds during the weekend after the prolonged negotiations and was able to debut the preseason’s friendly tomorrow with northern London rivals in Tottenham in Hong Kong.
Arsenal amateurs take Gyokera T -shirts
Gyokeras’s decision to bring number 14 has caused record shirt sales For Arsenal and Arteta he has been encouraged by the self -confidence of the striker.
He said, “I use the word conviction and this is the first thing I realized when I spoke to him. Someone very determined, someone who was already really linked to the club because of the way I was talking about the club, the story and in this case Thierry (Henry) and what the shirt represented.
Arteta hopes that the former Coventry man will be able to play against Spurs, but said that his availability would be discussed before he started.
“He only did the session today and yesterday very little,” he added. “We will value tonight as it is and if the medical staff is also happy with their status to participate in tomorrow’s match, it is a possibility. We will discuss it tonight.”
Arsenal’s transfers delighted by the transfers
Arsenal has been proactive in the transfer market this summer, as it seems to be a better than three successive runners -up in the Premier League.
In addition to Gyokeras, Noni Madueke, Martin Zubendish, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard and Cristian Mosquera have also signed.
“I am very happy with the way we approached the window and the aggression we have been,” said Arteta.
“There is still a long period with the window open. So far we are very happy with what we have achieved and (we must) assure us at the end of the window, we are still very happy.”
