The Sweden international turned out in Arsenal colours for the first time following his recent £63.5 million move to north London.

Viktor Gyokeres got his first taste of Arsenal football just five days after joining up with his new teammates, but struggled to influence the play in a 13-minute cameo as the Gunners chased an opener. He will have another opportunity to find his first Arsenal goal as Villarreal visit the Emirates next week.

So, can Viktor Gyokeres live up to the hype? The center forward Arsenal supporters have craved for years arrived last week, and every indication since it became clear he was Mikel Arteta's man is that the Swede is determined to not be crushed under the weight of expectation.
