THE BIGGER PICTURE
Gyokeres is not yet ready to make his debut for Arsenal, having flown out to Asia on the back of sealing a £64 million ($86m) transfer from Sporting, but he is raring to get going and embark on a new adventure.
The 27-year-old frontman was dropped off at the Singapore National Stadium in a luxury Toyota Alphard van. He was all smiles when stepping out of that vehicle, with Gyokeres now officially a Gooner.

He has been handed the iconic No.14 shirt in north London that was once worn by Arsenal’s all-time leading goalscorer Thierry Henry. He has been getting an early feel for that jersey, which he hopes will deliver a similar level of success.
