Arsenal’s new forward signing, Viktor Gyökeres, has officially joined the team’s final training session in Singapore ahead of their highly anticipated pre-season clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
Photos released by the club on Monday show the Swedish striker in high spirits, training alongside teammates under the sweltering Singapore sun. The session was intense but upbeat, with fans cheering from the sidelines as Arsenal continued their preparations for the North London derby — this time playing out on Asian soil.
Gyökeres, who arrived from Sporting Lisbon in a big-money summer move, is expected to feature in the match. It will be his first opportunity to wear the Arsenal shirt in a game setting and show fans what he can bring to Mikel Arteta’s squad.
The inclusion of Gyökeres gives Arsenal fresh firepower up front as they look to sharpen their attack ahead of the new Premier League season. His physical presence, sharp movement, and eye for goal could make a big difference, especially in big matches like the one against Spurs.
Coach Mikel Arteta expressed confidence in the squad’s preparation. “Viktor is settling in well. He’s adapting quickly, and this is a great environment for him to build chemistry with the team,” Arteta said.
The Arsenal–Spurs clash in Singapore is more than a friendly — it’s a global celebration of football. Fans in Asia are getting a rare chance to watch two Premier League giants live, and for the players, it’s a chance to build match fitness and team cohesion in a new environment.
Viktor Gyökeres has taken his first steps on the Arsenal pitch — and all eyes are on him as the Gunners gear up to face rivals Spurs in Singapore. With new faces and high stakes, this pre-season derby is shaping up to be more than just a warm-up.
