The Emirates roared before the ball even hit the back of the net — Viktor Gyökeres, Arsenal’s new £73m frontman, had just introduced himself to North London in the most perfect way: a debut goal.

Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz added their own signatures to the scoreline, sealing a 3–0 pre-season win over Athletic Bilbao. But let’s be honest — the night belonged to the Swede.
Why This Matters:
In football, first impressions count. Arsenal’s faithful have been here before — shiny new signings promising hope. But Gyökeres’ goal wasn’t just a “welcome” moment; it felt like a warning shot to the rest of the Premier League
