Arsenal have completed the signing of striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. The Swede has shared reasons he picked the Gunners over Premier League rivals.

Viktor Gyokeres made his opinion on the GOAT debate clear when he named the two footballers he idolised most growing up. After a saga which has dominated this summer's transfer window, the Swedish striker is due to arrive in London on Friday to complete a protracted £63.7 million move.

Viktor Gyokeres has been given the No.14 shirt at Arsenal – and it’s safe to say that he has big boots to fill. Plenty of players have made the No.14 their own around the world, from Johan Cruyff to Xabi Alonso, and the number has a storied history at Arsenal since squad numbers were introduced in 1993.
