Gyokeres' comments were made in a recent interview, where he reflected on his time at Arsenal. The striker, who played for Coventry City before joining Arsenal, has been a key player for the Gunners in recent seasons. According to BBC Football, Arsenal are still keen to sign another defender, Konsa, who is a teammate of Kalidou Koulibaly's at the club. This move would bring the total number of defenders on Arsenal's books to eight.
Arsenal's squad is already well-stocked with defenders, with seven currently on the books. The club's decision to pursue Konsa suggests that they are looking to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new season. The Gunners will be hoping to build on their success from last season, where they won the Premier League title.
The upcoming match against Coventry City will be a key test for Arsenal, as they look to begin their title defence in style. Gyokeres will be hoping to make a positive impact on the pitch, having spoken so highly of his time at the club. The match is set to take place on Friday, with Arsenal looking to get off to a strong start.
Arsenal's next step will be to take on Coventry City in their opening match of the new season.
