Viktor Gyokeres has achieved a historic milestone following his transfer to Arsenal.
This follows reports that he shattered Arsenal’s jersey sales record shortly after finalizing his blockbuster switch from Sporting Lisbon.
The Swedish forward was formally introduced as an Arsenal player on Sunday during their pre-season tour in Singapore, after completing a £64 million transfer that may reach £70 million including bonuses. Supporters were thrilled, particularly upon learning that Gyokeres would inherit the iconic No. 14—previously worn by club legend Thierry Henry.
While initial reports suggested Gyokeres favored the No. 9 shirt—currently occupied by Gabriel Jesus—he ultimately chose to honor Henry’s legacy.
To mark his signing, Arsenal provided complimentary name and number printing for Gyokeres’ jersey, a service typically priced at £16. This limited promotion, available until Thursday, triggered massive demand as supporters flooded both physical stores and the club’s online shop.
Preliminary data indicates that sales of the No. 14 Gyokeres shirt have already surpassed all previous Arsenal signings, establishing a new club merchandise record—with expectations of further growth before the promotion ends.
