The Swedish striker has already shown promising signs with a goal in pre-season against Athletic Bilbao and Gunners legend Henry believes he will thrive under Mikel Arteta this term

Thierry Henry says Viktor Gyokeres ‘should be perfect’ for Arsenal but has called for patience with the £64m summer signing. Mikel Arteta was desperate to sign a new striker this summer and sanctioned Arsenal’s deal for ex-Sporting star Gyokeres.

Kai Havertz and new striker Viktor Gyokeres will "offer something completely different" this season for Arsenal, according to BBC football reporter Alex Howell. Gyokeres' move to the Gunners this summer had left Havertz's position as first choice in question but Howell is confident Mikel Arteta will exploit the value of both forwards.
