Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has issued a big warning to their Premier League rivals, that his new striker Viktor Gyokeres “can destroy you”.
Arteta was speaking after their 3-0 victory over Athletic Club on Saturday, a game where Gyokeres scored his first goal for the club.
The Swede rose highest to head in a first-time cross from Martin Zubimendi to give Arsenal the lead.
Gyokeres almost got a second after the break, but he saw his effort tipped onto the post by goalkeeper Unai Simon.
With preseason preparations over, Arsenal are now set to kick off their Premier League campaign at Manchester United next Sunday.
Arteta has now issued a warning to their rivals in the league about the £63.5m man.
“Everything he does is on instinct. That’s why he’s scored so many in the last few seasons.
“He pins both centre backs. He is a player that the moment you leave him with space one-on-one, he is going to destroy you,” Arteta said.
