Gyokeres Downplays Henry Comparisons at Arsenal

New Arsenal signing Viktor Gyokeres is ready to make his mark, not just with his £64 million transfer, but by taking the iconic number 14 shirt, famously worn by Thierry Henry.

The 27-year-old Swede, however, emphasized his desire to forge his own path.

Despite the immense legacy of Henry, Gyokeres said choosing the number was “easy” due to limited availability.

Yet, he was quick to downplay comparisons, stating, “It’s not really my intention to be compared with what he’s achieved… I just want to do my own thing and show my qualities.”

Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his conviction in Gyokeres, noting the striker’s immediate connection to the club and the shirt’s history. Fan excitement is palpable, with replica shirt sales breaking records, providing Gyokeres with “extra motivation.”

The transfer itself was a trying period for Gyokeres, marked by protracted negotiations. “It’s been a lot of waiting… but I’m finally here and it feels great,” he shared, adding that he trained intensely alone during the process.

With 97 goals in 102 appearances for Sporting, Gyokeres is confident in his ability to adapt to the Premier League, though he anticipates a transition period.
