Arsenal’s pre-season tour turned up a notch on Monday as newly-signed striker Viktor Gyökeres laced up his boots for his first training session with the Gunners in Singapore.
The Swedish forward, who completed his move from Sporting Lisbon over the weekend, was officially unveiled in Monday’s sun-soaked training ahead of Arsenal’s high-profile Asia Tour finale against Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong.
Just hours after finalising the deal, Gyökeres flew out to join his new teammates, having already watched from the stands as Arsenal edged out Newcastle United 3-2 in a pulsating friendly on Sunday.
Photos released by the club captured the powerful striker bonding with the squad, sharing laughs with stars like Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Declan Rice, while also impressing coaches during drills under Mikel Arteta’s watchful eye.
With anticipation building for Thursday’s North London derby abroad, Arsenal fans will be eager to see how quickly Gyökeres adapts and asserts himself within Arteta’s dynamic attack.
As the team wraps up their Singapore leg and heads to Hong Kong, this session didn’t just mark the final preparations for a fierce clash with Spurs—it heralded a new chapter in Arsenal’s attacking arsenal.
