Viktor Gyökeres Breaks Arsenal Shirt Sales Record, Takes Iconic No.14 Jersey
Arsenal’s latest signing, Viktor Gyökeres, has reportedly shattered the club’s shirt sales record, according to The Athletic.
The 27-year-old striker has outpaced fan favorites including Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Martin Ødegaard in merchandise sales, reflecting the excitement surrounding his arrival at the Emirates.
Arsenal secured Gyökeres from Sporting CP for an initial fee of €63.5 million. He has since joined the squad on their pre-season tour of Asia and was officially unveiled to fans at the Singapore National Stadium ahead of the club’s friendly against Newcastle United—receiving a rousing welcome from the crowd.
Fueling the hype is his shirt number selection. While his preferred No.9 remains with Gabriel Jesus, Gyökeres opted for the iconic No.14 jersey—once worn by club legend and all-time top scorer Thierry Henry.
