Gyökeres to Face Spurs? Arteta Drops Hint on New Arsenal Striker!
Arsenal fans are buzzing with anticipation! Could new signing Viktor Gyökeres be set to make his debut against Tottenham this week? Gunners manager Mikel Arteta has fuelled the speculation, suggesting the Swedish international could feature in the highly anticipated clash.
Gyökeres, who joined Arsenal last week, is expected to inject some much-needed firepower into the Arsenal attack. Arteta has been keen to add a true number 9 to his squad, addressing concerns that the team has often lacked a cutting edge in front of goal.

The potential debut of Gyökeres adds another layer of excitement to the North London derby, even in a friendly setting. Arsenal supporters will be eagerly awaiting news on the striker's fitness and hoping to see him make an immediate impact.
