Gyokeres' teammate hails ex-Sporting star: one of the best men | OneFootball

Ben White heaped lavish praise on Viktor Gyokeres. The former Sporting player was Arsenal’s most high-profile summer signing and won over the England international defender, even after they had already played together at Brighton, at a time when the Swede had not yet reached the peak of his career.

“He is a monster. He lives for goals and is always a threat to your goal. You really don’t want to face him on the pitch, because physically you just can’t stop him. He’s going to help us a lot and won’t need any adaptation, since he’s already played in England. You’ve seen before how some people come here and struggle,” he said.

Ben White admitted that Gyokeres had no problem adapting to a new reality, recalling that they had shared a dressing room before: “Viktor is already used to everything at Arsenal. He was at Coventry, then we played many games together at Brighton.”

“He’s already seen how things work and knows what to expect from defenders. Honestly, I can’t find a single negative word to say about him. This man is one of the most professional players in training. Just like Martin Odegaard,” Ben White concluded, praising the former Sporting player.
