The Gunners signed the Sweden international in a £64million deal from Sporting Lisbon last month.

The Athletic reported on 29 July shirt sales for Gyokeres have already broken the club’s previous record for a signing in recent history.

The 27-year-old will wear the number 14 jersey, which was previously worn by fan favourite and record goalscorer Thierry Henry. 

Uefa documents revealed Arsenal raked in £101million from shirt and merchandise sales in the 2023-24 season. 

They ranked sixth in the world, with Real Madrid topping the charts with earnings of £165million.
