Premier League club hope Viktor Gyokeres can finally solve lack of firepower upfront and bring silverware back to North London

Arsenal have finally solved their striker conundrum by completing the £55 million (US$73 million) signing of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon, and fans in Hong Kong could be among the first to see him in action for his new side.

The 27-year-old, who fired Sporting to the title last season with 39 goals and netted a Champions League hat-trick against Manchester City, is understood to have signed a five-year deal at the Emirates.

Gyokeres’ transfer, which could end up costing the North London club as much as £64m with performance-related add-ons, takes Arsenal’s close-season spending to the region of £200 million.
