Mikel Arteta decided to make significant changes on Arsenal's game day. The coach prohibited the entire squad from driving directly to the Emirates, requiring Viktor Gyokeres and company to meet at the training center before each match. The solution was renting taxis, which costs thousands of euros.

According to the British press, Arsenal's footballers rent the service for a full day, which costs between 800 and 1,150 euros, as the training center and the Emirates Stadium are approximately 36 kilometers apart.

The drivers take the players to the training center, then all the family members to the Emirates, and at the end of the match, the former Sporting player Gyokeres and the rest of the squad return to their respective homes. On average, each player is expected to spend around 23,000 euros on taxis during the season.

"It makes us anxious for the games because we hope to get a call from a player. The amount paid is essentially half of our weekly goal, which calms us down a lot. Besides, who wouldn't want to be involved in football these days, even if it's just to drive players," said a taxi driver to The Sun.

Viktor Gyokeres - valued at 75 million euros - . In Arsenal's last Premier League match, the forward scored the second goal in the victory against Nottingham Forest (3-0).
