Mikel Arteta was full of praise for Viktor Gyökeres as he got off the mark for Arsenal in the Gunners’ final preseason friendly of the summer defeating Athletic Club at Emirates Stadium.
The Swede got on the end of a first-timed cross from Martín Zubimendi to open the scoring in the first half. While just preseason, a positive start for Gyökeres given the short turnaround between his signing and the start of the Premier League season. After the game, Arteta laid down the gauntlet to the other 19 teams preparing for Gyökeres.
