Gyokeres Is My EPL Signing Of The Season – Rooney

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has named Viktor Gyokeres as the Premier League’s signing of the season. This comes following Arsenal’s historic title win, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the Swedish international deserves recognition for providing the clinical edge necessary to finally push Mikel Arteta’s side over the finish line.

Rooney added that signing Gyokeres from Sporting CP played a big role in Arsenal winning the EPL this season.

His words, “I think Viktor Gyokeres. Granit Xhaka has been brilliant for Sunderland but look at what Gyokeres has brought to Arsenal, it’s exactly what they’ve needed. Finishing second over the last three years, I think he’s given Arsenal something a bit different and that’s been a big factor in them winning the Premier League.

Champions are champions. I have actually really liked how they’ve played this season. Everyone now wants to play like how Pep Guardiola’s teams play but Mikel Arteta has tried that for the last three years and he hasn’t won the league. He’s changed the recruitment. They’ve gone more to a bigger, more physical team, and they don’t concede goals.

They’re solid, they have players scoring goals from all over the pitch, and they fully deserve to win the Premier League.”

WOW.
