Mikel Arteta often stresses his desire for Arsenal to be “unpredictable” in how they set up - and the signings of Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres will certainly help that. Gyokeres, who scored a remarkable 54 goals in 52 games for Sporting last season, offers an alternative option up front to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.

Arsenal will sign their second player from London rivals Chelsea this summer when Noni Madueke’s transfer is finalised.

The 23-year-old has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal over a proposed five-year deal and is prioritising the north London side.
