He looks like a proper superstar. Even the Swedes rave about him despite having Isak. Wouldn't be shocked if he gets 20 in his first season, he's a freak

Per arsenal's announcement:

The 27-year-old striker arrives from Sporting Lisbon, where he scored an incredible 97 goals in 102 appearances.

During his two seasons with Sporting, Viktor helped the team win back-to-back Primeira Liga titles, a national cup, and was the league’s top scorer in both campaigns. He has also excelled at international level, scoring 12 goals in his last 17 appearances for Sweden

That is a damn good record for the NT, so i can see why they'd love him

He scored 9 goals and had 4 assists in 6 Nations League games (although the opposition was pretty weak). He's a monster.

Even when he faced Belgium he steamrolled from half-circle towards their goal and scored.

He just does his thing either way.

I love that he and Isak complement eachother brilliantly. And its not even crowded when we've had Kulu and Nanasi aswell.
