Arsenal’s record summer signing Viktor Gyökeres opened his account for the club on Saturday, heading in a cross from fellow newcomer Martin Zubimendi to set up a 3–0 win over Spain’s Athletic Club in a pre-season match at Emirates Stadium. The £63.7 million striker, acquired from Sporting Lisbon in late July, struck midway through the first half before Bukayo Saka doubled the advantage moments later. Kai Havertz completed the scoring after the interval, underscoring the depth available to manager Mikel Arteta ahead of next weekend’s Premier League opener at Manchester United. Gyökeres had failed to score in his first two outings for Arsenal but looked sharp leading the line, offering the aerial threat Arteta lacked last season. The comfortable victory concludes the Gunners’ summer schedule with four wins from five fixtures and raises expectations for another title challenge.
