Viktor Gyokeres has smashed Arsenal's shirt sales record in the days after his signing was confirmed.

Following weeks of arduous negotiations with Sporting Lisbon, the Gunners at last officially announced the Swede as an Arsenal player on Saturday in a deal worth £64million.

The news sent Arsenal fans into a frenzy, with an announcement video adding to such excitement as it was revealed the club's new frontman will wear the iconic No 14 shirt, previously worn by club icon Thierry Henry.

It was thought that Gyokeres would have preferred No 9 - currently Gabriel Jesus' number - but later expressed his desire to follow in the Frenchman's footsteps.
