[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Arsenal’s new signing Viktor Gyokeres has already broken the club’s shirt sales record. Although the data is still being analyzed, it is clear that his No.14 jersey has sold more than any other player in recent years. Gyokeres originally wanted to wear the No.9 jersey, but it is currently worn by Gabriel Jesus. He then expressed a desire to wear the No.14 jersey, which was previously worn by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. In addition, Arsenal has launched a free service for printing Gyokeres’ name and number on shirts, which usually costs £16. This offer is available in club stores and the official website, and due to high demand, the website crashed. The campaign will continue until Thursday, and Gyokeres’ shirt sales are expected to continue rising. Gyokeres scored 54 goals and provided 13 assists in 52 appearances for Portuguese giants Benfica last season. Will this prolific striker help solve Arsenal’s lack of a top center-forward?
