The transfer of Viktor Gyokeres to Arsenal has finally been confirmed, bringing an end to a lengthy negotiation process. The Swedish striker is known for his impressive goal-scoring skills and is now returning to England with a wealth of experience.

Gyokeres was born in Stockholm in 1998 and began his football journey at local club IFK Aspudden-Tellus. At the age of 14, he joined the prestigious youth academy of IF Brommapojkarna, a club renowned in Sweden for developing young talent.

At 17, Gyokeres made his senior debut in the Swedish second division, becoming the club's top scorer in the 2017 season. He is no stranger to English football, having played for Brighton & Hove Albion in 2018. However, his time at Brighton was limited, and he eventually moved to Coventry and then Sporting CP in Portugal.

Gyokeres has Hungarian descent through his paternal grandfather, who emigrated from Hungary to Sweden during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. This has given him dual citizenship, Sweden and Hungary. His surname, 'Gyokeres', means 'rooted' in Hungarian and is pronounced 'Ye-ker-esh'.

As a child, Gyokeres played both football and ice hockey, but soon focused solely on football. He is known for his unique celebration, where he mimics putting on a mask, inspired by the iconic villain Bane from The Dark Knight Rises.

Gyokeres is a modern striker who can score, press, assist, and dominate defenders. With his explosive power, intelligent movement, and tireless work rate, he combines old-school strength with modern mobility. At 27, he is in his prime and is set to bring a new level of excitement to Arsenal's attack.
