Gyokeres Mania! Arsenal’s New No.14 Smashes Club Shirt Sales Record
Arsenal’s marquee signing Viktor Gyokeres is already making headlines off the pitch, with The Athletic reporting that the Swedish striker has broken the club’s shirt sales record, just days after being unveiled.
The 27-year-old was officially announced as a Gunner last Saturday, but early retail figures reveal that his No.14 jersey has already outsold that of any other Arsenal player in recent memory — surpassing the likes of:
⭐ Bukayo Saka
🧠 Martin Ødegaard
💪 Declan Rice
👕 The Power of No.14 — A Shirt Steeped in History
Gyokeres’s choice of the iconic No.14 jersey — once worn by Thierry Henry, Arsenal’s all-time top scorer — has undoubtedly fueled fan excitement. While his preferred No.9 is still held by Gabriel Jesus, Gyokeres's decision to take on Henry’s legendary number feels like a statement of intent.
🗣️ “It’s more than a number. It’s a legacy — and Gyokeres is already carrying it with confidence,” an Arsenal insider told The Athletic.
📈 A Commercial Dream
Arsenal paid €63.5 million (plus €10m in add-ons) for the former Sporting CP striker, but the shirt sales spike alone suggests Gyokeres could be a marketing goldmine. Unveiled in front of thousands at the Singapore National Stadium, he received a thunderous welcome, setting the tone for what’s to come.
💬 Opinion — Gyokeres Is Already Winning the Arsenal Fanbase
For a player yet to kick a ball in Arsenal colors, Gyokeres’s impact is immediate. Breaking the shirt sales record not only speaks to high fan anticipation, but also reflects how well the club’s global branding has evolved — especially in key markets like Asia.
Now, it’s up to the striker to back it up on the pitch, and if his past form at Sporting is anything to go by, Arsenal may have found the next fan favorite — or even a new icon.
🔥 With shirt sales already in overdrive, and his debut just around the corner, Gyokeres isn't just a signing — he’s a movement.
