Gyokeres joined Arsenal from Sporting CP for a reported £64 million, and Arteta hopes the striker will help boost the team's attack and bring success to the club. In his last season, Gyokeres scored 54 goals for Sporting CP, and Liverpool's 17-goal advantage in the 2024/25 season has made Arsenal take no chances.
Saliba, one of the world's top defenders, has praised Gyokeres' skills and believes he will not only perform well in the Premier League but also scare defenders who are not prepared for him. "We know how good he is, it's scary to play against him," Saliba said.
Saliba is also confident that Gyokeres will help Arsenal win games and trophies. "Of course, I'm so happy to have him in my club, and I'm sure that he will help us to win games and win trophies," Saliba said.
With Real Madrid reportedly interested in signing Saliba, the defender remained calm and said he is in good conversation with his agent and the club about a new contract. Meanwhile, Arsenal will face Tottenham in Hong Kong in their next preseason match, where fans will hope to see Gyokeres make his debut and score his first goal.
