The Swedish striker, long linked with a Premier League move, now lands at the Emirates in a deal that could be a game-changer for the Gunners.
Interestingly, Victor revealed that it was a 5-1 thrashing by Arsenal that first planted the seed in his mind.
“Losing 5-1 to Arsenal made me want to join them,” he admitted.
That heavy defeat didn’t break him — it inspired him.
Now, he’s on the other side of the pitch, ready to deliver goals for the very team that once humbled him.
Mikel Arteta has been looking for firepower up front, and with Gyökeres in red and white, Arsenal’s ambitions just became a lot more serious.
