It was only ever Arsenal for Gyokeres, who was involved in a transfer circus in order to secure his move to North London.

Before joining the Arsenal squad in Singapore, the 27-year-old underwent his media duties upon completing his transfer, where he was asked an interesting question.

Gyokeres’ answer only reinforced his enthusiasm to get to work with his new teammates, and it’s fair to say that the feeling is mutual.
