“I always want to score,” might sound like a relatively run of the mill quote from new Arsenal signing Viktor Gyokeres but it might be a warning shot by the Gunners to the Premier League as they get set for another crack at winning the elusive league title as well as Champions League silverware. At long last, they have a No.9, the first out and out striker since 2022 when they brought in Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. After that signing underwhelmed, Arsenal had to do with playing Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino up front, which severely limited their goal scoring chances.
The Gunners are currently on a warpath in the transfer market, already signing 6 players before July has even ended. The closest they got to this transfer spree was back in the 2022/23 season when they snapped up Fabio Viera, Marquinhos, Matt Turner, Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko. That year was supposed to be their season but they finished second in the league.
