Arsenal has boosted its Premier League title ambitions with the high-profile signing of Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP in a deal worth up to €73.5 million. Defender William Saliba, who previously faced Gyokeres when Arsenal defeated Sporting 5-1, described the striker as "scary" to play against and expressed confidence that Gyokeres will help the club win games and trophies. Gyokeres, who scored 54 goals in 52 matches last season, joined Arsenal on a five-year contract and has already begun integrating with the team during their preseason tour in Asia. Saliba emphasized Arsenal's renewed mindset focused on winning the Premier League, noting the importance of learning from past seasons and leveraging the contributions of several new signings. Additionally, Saliba addressed speculation about his future by confirming that contract extension talks with Arsenal are progressing positively. The Gunners are preparing for their final preseason match against Tottenham in Hong Kong before the Premier League campaign begins.
