BREAKING: Arsenal Unveil Viktor Gyökeres During Pre-Season Tour in Singapore

Arsenal fans in Singapore were treated to a major surprise on Sunday as the club officially unveiled their new signing, Viktor Gyökeres, just moments before their pre-season clash with Newcastle at the Singapore National Stadium.

The Swedish striker, greeted by thunderous applause, stepped onto the pitch to a sea of waving Swedish flags and chants echoing his name. In a spirited show of support, fans mimicked Gyökeres’ iconic “mask” goal celebration, with many donning replica jerseys emblazoned with his name and the number 14—already fast becoming a fan favourite.

Although the prolific forward did not feature in the matchday squad, his presence alone stole the spotlight, marking a new era for Arsenal’s attacking line. Club officials say Gyökeres will join full training with the squad immediately after the tour, having completed medicals earlier in London.

The 26-year-old’s arrival from Sporting CP is seen as a major coup for Mikel Arteta, who has been vocal about strengthening the squad ahead of a high-stakes Premier League and Champions League campaign. Gyökeres, who scored 43 goals across all competitions last season, is expected to bring added firepower and a fresh tactical dimension to Arsenal's front line.

His unveiling in Asia also signals Arsenal’s growing focus on global fan engagement, with Singaporeans now firmly in the heart of the club's international expansion strategy.

As anticipation builds, all eyes will be on when Gyökeres makes his debut in the red and white. One thing’s clear: Arsenal’s newest number 14 has already made a big impression—before even kicking a ball.
