‘We’re winning it all’ – Arsenal fans already in love with Viktor Gyokeres as pre-season footage emerges

It’s only pre-season, but Arsenal fans are already giddy with excitement about what’s to come from Viktor Gyokeres.

You can’t blame them either, as footage of a thumping finish from the Swede during an open training session lit up social media.

Gyokeres has wasted little time in making an impression on Arsenal supporters

In the clip, Gyokeres received the ball and poked it out in front with the outside of his right foot.

He then readied himself with a lightning-quick stutter step before he produced a powerful curved finish into the upper right corner of the goal.

Gyokeres’ goal was met with an approving “Ooohhh” from the crowd inside the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.

The clip, which has been viewed over 600,000 times already, also drew widespread glee from Gunners fans across the globe.

One supporter wrote on X: “We’re winning it all.”

Another said: “Lmaoo this Gyokeres is a beast.”

A third added: “Gyokeres goal. Get used to it.”

Although Arsenal fans got a glimpse of Gyokeres’ frightening finishing ability in training, they won’t have to wait much longer to see what he’s capable of in a full match.

Mikel Arteta’s side will take on bitter rivals Tottenham on Thursday at the Kai Tak Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30pm BST.

Will Gyokeres play against Tottenham?

Given it is Gyokeres’ first opportunity to play for Arsenal since his £63.7million arrival from Sporting, plenty will tune in to Thursday’s contest expecting to see the Swede take part.

However, Arteta stressed the striker’s involvement is no guarantee given he is still getting up to speed physically having remained absent from Sporting’s pre-season in a bid to force through the switch to north London.

“He has only done today’s session and yesterday very little,” Arteta said.

“We are going to assess tonight where he is.

“If the medical staff are pleased with his condition, it is possible.”

If Gyokeres does feature in the pre-season clash, Gunners supporters will hope to see him remain amongst the goals.

Gyokeres has scored an eye-watering 137 goals in the last four seasons

The 27-year-old netted a staggering 97 goals in 102 appearances across all competitions during his two-season stint in Lisbon.

A whopping 54 of those goals came in 52 games last term as Gyokeres helped Sporting win the Primeira Liga and the Taca de Portugal, which is the nation’s equivalent of the FA Cup.
