Mikel Arteta had the chance to assess his squad in a stadium match setting for the first time in 2025/26. 

The Gunners have been putting in the work during the pre-season tour of Asia. 

Starting in Singapore, Arsenal kicked off the 2025/26 campaign against AC Milan, a match that saw Arteta hand debuts to his three new signings. 

Christian Norgaard started while Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi were introduced at the interval, but strangely, it was the action away from the pitch that generated a lot of attention.

Arsenal fans pay homage to Viktor Gyokeres at half-time in AC Milan friendly

It was good to see the North Londoners back in action, as Arsenal sported their new away kit for the first time. 

Admittedly, the match fell at a time when there’s an even bigger story building at Arsenal, something fans couldn’t take their minds off when watching the game unfold. 

Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Viktor Gyokeres after a lengthy transfer saga with Sporting CP. 

Since the news broke, excitement has been everywhere, with even Myles Lewis-Skelly reacting to Gyokeres’ pending move. 

At the Singapore National Stadium, fans used half-time to show their feelings towards the incoming striker, as journalist Jordan Davies explained live from the ground. 

The half-time entertainment was described by Davies as a ‘kiss/hug/dance cam’ to get the crowd involved, but Arsenal fans used the opportunity to show their love for Gyokeres. 

Supporters mimicked Gyokeres’ mask celebration when the camera was on them, with the Swede already adored by the North London club, despite not even completing a medical yet.

Gyokeres’ celebration has been making the headlines at Arsenal 

Lewis-Skelly reacted to the transfer news by pulling Gyokeres’ mask celebration.

The striker’s celebration has been a real talking point at Arsenal, even before he was set to become a Gunner.

When Arsenal played Sporting in November, Gabriel Magalhaes stole Gyokeres’ celebration after scoring in Lisbon. 

It was well-talked about then, and now, the Brazilian might owe his soon-to-be teammate an apology. 

Arsenal fans will be desperate to see Gyokeres put on the mask, with the Swede expected to score many goals in red and white.
