Arsenal fans enjoyed a glimpse of both a new signing and a potential star of the future as they bested Newcastle in Singapore
Arsenal's new £63m signing Viktor Gyokeres is going to attend Arsenal's pre-season friendly with Newcastle on Sunday. Gyokeres will be in the National Stadium in Singapore to watch his new team-mates play their second friendly match of the tour.
Arsenal managed to get the announcement done quickly on Saturday night, so there’s no need to hide the transfer anymore. But with the deal happening so late, there’s also no chance that Gyokeres will be playing in Sunday’s game against Newcastle.
After months of speculation, the club have agreed a €63.5m fixed fee with a further €10m in add-ons for Sporting CP's free-scoring striker
Now that Viktor Gyokeres has officially signed for Arsenal, the question has moved on to whether he will be a success with the Gunners. His goal record speaks for itself at Sporting, with the forward scoring 97 goals in 102 appearances and providing 26 assists during his time in Portugal.
