So, can Viktor Gyokeres live up to the hype? The center forward Arsenal supporters have craved for years arrived last week, and every indication since it became clear he was Mikel Arteta's man is that the Swede is determined to not be crushed under the weight of expectation.

The Sweden international's 27 non-penalty goals were also the most in Europe's top 10 leagues, ahead of Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski (24 each)

While data is still being analysed, it is already clear that demand for Gyokeres’ No 14 shirt exceeds that of any player in recent history.
