The Sweden international was the league's top scorer in the last two campaigns, winning back to back league titles and a national cup.

Gyokeres enjoyed a taste of English football with Brighton and Coventry City, helping the Sky Blues reach the Championship play-off final in 2023.

Manager Mikel Arteta said: “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Viktor Gyökeres to the club. The consistency he has shown in his performances and availability have been outstanding, and his goal contributions speak for themselves.

“Viktor has so many qualities. He is a quick and powerful presence up front, with incredible goalscoring numbers at club and international levels.

"He brings a clinical edge with a high conversion rate of chances into goals, with his intelligent movement in the box making him a constant threat.

“We’re excited about what Viktor brings to our squad and are looking forward to start working with him. We welcome Viktor and his family to Arsenal.”

Sporting Director Andrea Berta added: “We are so pleased with the excellent deal we have completed to bring Viktor Gyökeres to the club.

"Viktor is an exceptional talent and has consistently demonstrated he has the qualities and winning mentality required of a top-level centre-forward. His physicality, intelligence and work ethic make him a perfect fit for our vision.

“We are confident Viktor will have a major impact on the pitch and become an important figure in our dressing room. Welcome, Viktor!”

Gyokeres will wear the number 14 shirt and will join up with the Arsenal squad on their tour of Asia.
