William Saliba, Arsenal defender, has warned Premier League rivals about the danger posed by Viktor Gyökeres, calling him “terrifying.” Furthermore, Saliba is confident that the club’s new striker will help end the title drought. Gyökeres, whose transfer from Sporting CP was finalized for 63 million euros (74 million dollars), with the possibility of rising to 73.5 million euros with add-ons, immediately joined the team’s pre-season in Singapore.
Arsenal have made six signings this summer with the ambition of winning their first trophy since the 2020 FA Cup. Saliba believes that Gyökeres could be the key element, after having faced him last season, when Arsenal beat Sporting 5-1 in November.
We know how good he is, it’s terrifying to play against him. Of course, I’m very happy to have him in my club and I’m sure he will help us win matches and trophies.

The defender also spoke about the importance of learning from the last three seasons and the ambition to win the Premier League. In addition, he highlighted the integration of the new players and their potential to help the team achieve its goals. Gyökeres is scheduled to start training with his new teammates this week. How Gyökeres became Europe’s star striker Arsenal will travel to Hong Kong on Tuesday, where they will face Tottenham Hotspur in the last match of the tour. Saliba also offered a positive update on his contract situation, as he enters the final year of his current contract. According to reports, Real Madrid is interested in signing the 24-year-old defender, but sources indicate that the contract extension talks with Arsenal are going well.It’s terrifying because when you face a striker who scores goals, you have to be focused! But now he’s on our team and he’ll score for us, so that’s good.

Yes, hopefully. Of course, there’s nothing now, but there’s a good conversation with my agent and the club. We’ll see.
