Arsenal's Viktor Gyökeres aims to make his own history
Arsenal forward Viktor Gyökeres says he wants to create his own place in the club’s history and has rejected comparisons with Thierry Henry after taking the number 14 shirt, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.
The 27-year-old Swede, who scored 54 goals in all competitions last season, completed his 63.5 million euros transfer from Sporting to England.
Gyökeres took Arsenal’s number 14 shirt, famously worn by former captain Thierry Henry on his way to becoming the club’s all-time top scorer.
“Of course I know the history. To be honest, there weren’t many numbers available. There wasn’t much to choose from. But of course, it was available. So when I saw that, it was an easy choice to take it. It’s not my goal to be compared to what he achieved in his career—especially here. I just want to do my thing and show my qualities. Of course, he was a fantastic player, but different from me,” Gyökeres told British media on Wednesday.
