EPL: I'm Not Sure Arteta Wanted Gyokeres at Arsenal

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, AUG 6 – Paul Scholes questions if Arsenal's £64 million Viktor Gyokeres suits their possession-based tactics despite his 97 goals in 102 games for Sporting, amid club divisions over the signing.

  • Arsenal officially announced Viktor Gyokeres' arrival from Sporting for around £55 million plus £8.5 million in add-ons, ending months of speculation.
  • The 27-year-old forward chose Arsenal over Manchester United to play Champions League football next season after scoring 97 goals in 102 games with Sporting.
  • Paul Scholes questioned whether Mikel Arteta genuinely wanted Gyokeres, suggesting the slow transfer process raised doubts.
  • Jamie Carragher implied that new sporting director Andrea Berta may have influenced Arsenal's decision to sign Gyokeres, rather than Arteta's direct desire.
