Arteta Confirms Gyokeres Will Start For Arsenal Against Man Utd

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres will make his English Premier League debut against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Gyokeres, a summer signing for nearly £6 million, scored 54 goals for Sporting CP last season.

Arteta praised Gyokeres' adaptation to English football and highlighted his fitness level and performance in training. The arrival of Gyokeres represents a significant striker acquisition for Arsenal since Aubameyang's departure.

The upcoming fixture against United presents an intriguing subplot as former target Benjamin Sesko joined the opposition. Arteta emphasized the importance of providing the proper support structure for players transitioning to the Premier League.

Additionally, Arsenal's new midfield signing, Martin Zubimendi, has successfully integrated into the squad. Despite speculation, Martin Odegaard will retain the captain's armband for the 2024 campaign, with unanimous support from the players and coaching staff.

Arsenal's recent transfer activity shows their determination to end their EPL title drought.
