What does Martin Odegaard think about Gyokeres now that he has joined Arsenal

Martin Odegaard has shared his thoughts on new Arsenal signing Viktor Gyokeres following the completion of the Swedish striker’s transfer to the Emirates. Gyokeres has emerged as one of the most prolific forwards in world football in recent seasons, drawing interest from several top clubs across Europe.

After scoring close to 100 goals over two seasons at Sporting Club, it became evident that a move away from Portugal was inevitable. Arsenal acted decisively to secure his signature, working tirelessly to ensure they beat other suitors to the deal.

A Statement Signing for Arsenal

When the transfer window opened, numerous clubs expressed interest in Gyokeres. However, the striker made his intentions clear and pushed for a move to North London, prompting Sporting to negotiate exclusively with Arsenal. His arrival marks a significant addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad and underlines the club’s ambition to compete at the highest level.

Now officially part of the Arsenal setup, expectations around Gyokeres are understandably high. With a proven record and physical attributes that make him a nightmare for defenders, he is viewed as a player who can immediately elevate the team’s attacking threat.

Odegaard Impressed by Gyokeres’s Qualities

Martin Odegaard has already been impressed by his new teammate and believes the striker has all the tools to succeed in the Premier League. As cited by The Sun, the Arsenal captain said, “You’ve all seen what he’s done in his career so far and especially the last season at Sporting, the numbers speak for themselves.

“He’s a very complete player, a very complete striker. He’s physical, strong, fast, good finisher and intelligent as well.

“You can already see the hunger, the energy he brings. The quality, the willingness. I am so excited to share a pitch with him.”

Gyokeres joins Arsenal with a formidable reputation and arrives at a club that is building towards sustained domestic and European success. Supporters will be eager to see him in action and will hope his impact is immediate as the new season approaches
