Viktor Gyokerres broke the record of the Arsenal Club for shirt sales

The most recent Arsenal striker, Viktor Gyokerres, saw the sales of his shirt No. 14 exceed any signature of the modern history of the club.

Although the final figures are always compiled from retailers and online points of sale, the first data confirm that the interest in Gyokerian goods has established a new reference for the side of northern London.

The 27 -year -old striker officially joined Arsenal on July 26 in an initial value of 54.8 million pounds sterling. From there, he immediately climbed a flight to connect with the team for their pre-season tour in Singapore and Hong Kong.

He was revealed to fans inside the Singapore National Stadium before the friendly match against Newcastle United, where he was encountered by a noisy reception.

Speaking after this match, manager Mikel Arteta admitted that players and staff were “very excited” to work with Gyokerers – a feeling clearly resolved by the faithful of Arsenal, who have long called a signature of Marquette in the center.

Henry's emblematic shirt n ° 14

While Gyokerres would have preferred to take shirt No. 9 of the traditional striker, this jersey is currently worn by Gabriel Jesus.

Instead, he opted for number 14, famous by Arsenal legend and the record scorer Thierry Henry, giving the new signature to the new emotional weight for supporters.

To celebrate its signature, Arsenal has announced that, for a limited period, they would print the name and number of Gyoker for any 2025-26 jersey free of charge, which generally costs £ 16.

This promotion caused such an influx of orders that the club's website has briefly dropped due to overwhelming demand.

Free shirt printing takes place until Thursday, and with the continuous overvoltage of orders from various sales channels, the total total should push the record even higher.

Favorites of outdated fans

Before the arrival of Gyokerres, the shirts bearing the names of Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Captain Martin Odegaard were among the bestsellers.

The graduate of the Rising Academy, Myles Lewis-Skelly, also attracted a notable demand, partly because of his shirt No. 49, which recalls the undefeated series of the invincibles of Arsène Wenger.

Since the movement of the Sports CP striker, Gyokerres has overshadowed them.

The Swedish international has already started to train with his new team, participating in a session in Singapore before the team went to Hong Kong.

Arsenal will then be in action against the Tottenham Hotspur rivals at Kai Tak Sports Park on Thursday, July 31.
