Arsenal's quest for a reliable and prolific number nine striker has been ongoing since the departure of iconic forwards like Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp. The latest addition to the Gunners' striking options, Viktor Gyokeres, is set to make his debut at the Emirates Stadium in a friendly match against Villarreal.
Over the years, Arsenal has seen a mix of hits and misses in their pursuit of a top striker. From the likes of Robin van Persie, who excelled before moving to Manchester United, to disappointments such as Marouane Chamakh and Park Chu-young, the North London club has experienced a rollercoaster of fortunes in the striker department.
Gyokeres, the latest signing, is expected to carry the burden of leading the line for Arsenal. With a history of talented strikers like Eduardo, Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud, and more recently, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the pressure is on Gyokeres to live up to the expectations and become a reliable goal scorer for Mikel Arteta's team.
As Arsenal fans eagerly anticipate Gyokeres' debut, the hope remains high that the young forward can finally end the club's striker nightmare and follow in the footsteps of the legendary number nines who once graced the Emirates Stadium.
