Ian Wright revealed the motivating message he sent to Viktor Gyokeres after his flop debut against Manchester United.

MANCHESTER — Arsenal's new star striker Viktor Gyokeres had a debut to forget, but his manager Mikel Arteta has given plenty of positives around his performance and his potential.

Gyokeres ineffective at Old TraffordReplaced after an hour on PL debutPortuguese press let rip at former Sporting starFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?Gyokeres started for Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday following his big-money move from Sporting but was hauled off on the hour after an ineffective showing.

Speaking to Sports Mole, Watts claimed that Arsenal's fellow attackers did Gyokeres no favours with their runs inside, but he also implored the Scandinavian to quickly adjust to life in the Premier League, where he cannot "bully" defences in the same way that he did in the Primeira Liga.

Arsenal have now chosen whether Bukayo Saka or new signing Viktor Gyokeres will take penalties for the club this season.

A busy summer of transfers may not be over just yet but as a new Premier League season nears kickoff, some of the division's most notable teams are already stacked with a handful of fresh talents that are set to make an impact in their first stints in England.

Arsenal made Gyokeres their number one attacking target after finding themselves frustrated in their efforts to sign Benjamin Sesko, whom they had had their eye on for over a year, but RB Leipzig's price demands allegedly proved excessive earlier this summer.

Gyokeres joined the tour in Singapore on Sunday and received a warm welcome from players, staff and supporters alike. He was presented to fans before the 3-2 friendly win over Newcastle United there, and received a rapturous ovation.
