Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has described new signing Viktor Gyokeres as a quality striker.<\/p>\n
Gyokeres completed a move worth up to \u00a364m to the Gunners from Sporting on Saturday and waved to fans from the pitch before kick-off.<\/p>\n
The Sweden international is Arsenal\u2019s sixth summer signing but undeniably the most anticipated, with supporters long urging Arteta to sign a forward to help end a 21-year wait for the Premier League title.<\/p>\n
Arteta stated that Gyokeres will help improve Arsenal\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, we do have plans, we do have a lot of options and we are increasing the quality of the squad and the depth of the squad with all the signings that we\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are super happy to have Viktor with us, it\u2019s been a long journey to get him over here.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been incredible, he was very clear from the beginning where he wanted to play and how passionate I felt from him from day one when we first spoke.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can see the boys, you can see the environment as well, very excited with his arrival.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
