While data is still being analysed, it is already clear that demand for Gyokeres’ No 14 shirt exceeds that of any player in recent history.

Though Gyokeres is likely to play at least a couple of friendlies for Arsenal in the build-up to the new Premier League season his first, full debut for the club will be on the opening weekend of the season. Arsenal take on Manchester United at Old Trafford in the headline match on Sunday 17 August with kick off at 4.30pm BST.

Viktor Gyokeres trained with the Arsenal squad for the first time on Tuesday. The 27-year-old completed his £64m move from Sporting over the weekend and immediately flew out to Singapore, where he was presented on the pitch ahead of Arsenal’s win over Newcastle.
