Official: Viktor Gyökeres Signs with Arsenal | Douglas Luiz Pushes for Premier League Return
Arsenal have completed the signing of Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres, marking a major attacking addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad ahead of the new season.
✅ Gyökeres Deal Finalized:
Medical completed on Saturday
Contract signed and sealed
Wears iconic #14 shirt (previously worn by Thierry Henry)
Joins from Sporting CP for a reported €90m release clause
The 26-year-old, known for his aggressive pressing, strength, and clinical finishing, is expected to bring the physical presence Arsenal’s frontline has been missing. His signing could signal the imminent exit of Gabriel Jesus, with Flamengo reportedly in talks for a loan deal.
🗣️ Fabrizio Romano confirmed:
"Viktor Gyökeres has finally signed as new Arsenal player — official statement coming soon."
⚫ Meanwhile… Douglas Luiz Goes on Strike
In a twist out of Turin, Douglas Luiz is reportedly on strike at Juventus, refusing to attend preseason training in a bid to force a move back to the Premier League.
🔁 Man United have now entered the race, alongside Everton and West Ham, as the Brazilian seeks an escape after just a short stint in Italy.
Juventus preparing disciplinary measures
Luiz still has suitors in England due to his consistency and midfield versatility
Man United, rebuilding under Amorim, see him as a potential Casemiro successor
🔥 Opinion: Arsenal Mean Business
With Gyökeres now confirmed and talks ongoing for midfield reinforcements, Arsenal are not waiting around this summer. Arteta clearly wants a physically dominant side capable of going toe-to-toe with Manchester City in the title race.
And with Douglas Luiz now forcing Juventus' hand, the Premier League midfield carousel could spin fast over the coming days.
