HONG KONG, JUL 30 – The �63.5 million striker impressed with 68 goals in 66 Portuguese league games and may debut if cleared by medical staff for Arsenal's final pre-season match in Asia.
- The North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will take place Thursday as a preseason friendly in Hong Kong's newly built Kai Tak Stadium with 50,000 seats.
- This match marks the first time the 116-year-old rivalry is held 6,000 miles outside the UK, driven by clubs seeking to embrace global fans amid growing sports commercialization.
- Arsenal recently signed 27-year-old Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon for about $67 million, and he may debut despite limited training and fitness assessments ahead of the game.
- Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta called bringing all tradition and rivalry to Hong Kong a 'brilliant idea,' while captain Martin Odegaard praised Gyokeres as 'a very complete' player with strong scoring records.
- The event is expected to break local attendance records set by Liverpool and AC Milan, indicating rising international interest but sparking debate about preserving the derby's traditional context.
