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

Ben White has heaped praise on Viktor Gyokeres. The former Sporting player was Arsenal's most notable summer signing and has impressed the English 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 beast. He lives for goals and is always a threat to your goal. You really don't want to encounter him on the field, because physically you can't stop him. He will help us a lot and won't need to adapt, as he has already played in England. You've seen before people who 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 has seen how things work and knows what to expect from defenses. Honestly, I can't find a negative word for him. This man is one of the most serious professionals in training. Just like Martin Odegaard", concluded Ben White, praising the former Sporting player.
