Viktor Gyokeres' ex-coaches and team-mates have spoken about the quality and character that the Swedish striker will bring to Arsenal as the Gunners attempt to end their title drought

Gyökeres only had 14 touches of the ball and a single shot on target as Arsenal, as a whole, struggled with Villarreal’s counterattacking. Arteta was asked by reporters afterwards if the former Coventry City forward would be ready for the visit to Old Trafford later this month.

Following his performances in the preseason, fans want Dowman to feature for the Arsenal senior team in the 2025/26 season.
