Viktor Gyokeres has hinted that he refused other attractive invitations before completing the transfer to Arsenal.
The 27 -year -old striker ended the rumor for weeks by signing a contract with the North London team last week. Arsenal had to compete fiercely with many big clubs to win Gyokeres's signature.
Man United and Juventus are two of the teams closely watching the situation of the Swedish striker, who scored 97 goals after 102 matches of Sporting CP, becoming one of the most sought after strikers in Europe.

Viktor Gyokeres agrees to join Arsenal |
In the first interview when Arsenal traveled to Asia, Gyokeres was asked if he had to make a big decision for the future. He shared:
“Yes, I think you always have to make a choice for your future. Of course there are other clubs that are interested in, but this time I don't feel it is a difficult choice. I don't think it is an obsession, but it is clear that it is a choice when I still play in Portugal. Premier League is the best tournament in the world and when I feel that it is appropriate, I don't hesitate to turn back.”Viktor Gyokeres affirmed.
When asked about Arsenal, there was nothing to be able to win the championship after 3 consecutive seasons in the Premier League, Gyokeres frankly: “I think you need everyone on the field, to be honest. It is necessary to have 11 main kicks and the reserve players must also be able to create an influence. You need a solidarity collective, fight together. If that, you will have a great opportunity to go through a great season.”
