Arsenal’s new striker, Viktor Gyokeres, has already made a big impact before kicking a ball for the club. According to reports from The Athletic, the Swedish forward has set a new record for shirt sales at Arsenal.

Gyokeres was officially introduced as a new Arsenal player just last Saturday, but his shirt has already become the most popular among fans. The No.14 jersey he chose has sold more than any Arsenal player’s shirt in recent memory—even though the final numbers are still being counted.

This is a big deal, considering that popular stars like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Martin Odegaard haven’t reached this level of shirt demand. Gyokeres, who is 27 years old, has now become the top shirt-seller at the club.

Arsenal is paying €63.5 million to sign Gyokeres, who has joined the squad on their pre-season tour in Asia. His first appearance as an Arsenal player came in Singapore, where he was introduced to a large crowd at the National Stadium before a friendly game against Newcastle United. Fans gave him a thunderous welcome.

Adding to the excitement is his shirt number. Gyokeres wanted the No.9 jersey, but since Gabriel Jesus already wears it, he picked the famous No.14 instead. That number was famously worn by Arsenal legend and all-time top scorer Thierry Henry, making it a special choice for many fans.

With his arrival, record-breaking shirt sales, and a strong fan reaction, Gyokeres seems to have started his Arsenal journey on a high note.
