The highly sought-after striker apparently had offers from several mid-table clubs in the years before his rise to fame.

Arsenal has signed Sweden forward Viktor Gyokeres to bring an end to the Premier League club’s years-long search for a prolific goalscorer.

Gyokeres is a forward-thinking player who loves to run in behind, work the channels, and his first thought on the ball is whether he can shoot. However, he’s not an archetypal penalty-box poacher; aerial duels and receiving crosses aren’t his biggest strengths.
