Arsenal 2 Villarreal 3: Viktor Gyokeres upstaged by £72million forgotten Gunners flop on Emirates Stadium bow
The way Gyokeres moved and his hair saw him compared to an Arsenal flop VIKTOR GYOKERES is wearing the No14 shirt made famous by Thierry Henry and the Swede is also looking to become an Arsenal legend. Unfortunately for the club's big summer signing, he had just 14 touches on his Emirates debut before being replaced in the 62nd minute, so this will not be a night he looks back with fondness.

Not that it really matters, obviously. If Viktor Gyokeres fires the goals to end Arsenal's role as permanent Premier League bridesmaids to clinch the title, and there is no reason why he cannot, the Swede will be forgiven if he takes time to adjust in north London. On the night all eyes were on the new arrival from Sporting Lisbon, absolutely no-one had taken any notice of Villarreal's Nicolas Pepe. So while we all expected an expensive signing by Arsenal to score, you would not have had any money on it being £72m Arsenal flop Pepe. Advertisement Villarreal's Ivory Coast international scored the first goal and Karl Etta Eyong made it 2-0 before new arrival Christian Norgaard scored with a header. Yet while we have spent the last few weeks talking about the need of a top striker, Mikel Arteta's team will have to defend better than this, and sub Arnaut Danjuma made it 3-1 before Martin Odegaard pulled one back from the penalty spot. Villarreal then won a penalty shoot-out 4-3 with another new arrival, Noni Madueke, missing the decisive spot-kick. Gyokeres, who cost £8.5million less than Pepe, made his club debut as a 77th minute substitute against Spurs in Hong Kong but was given a heroes' welcome at a packed Emirates. Advertisement BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK If Arsenal are to get the best out of their new all-singing, all-dancing goal machine, they will have to give him more ammunition. Equally, Gyokeres did not have a proper pre-season as he barely trained in Lisbon. Arsenal's 2025-26 third kit 'leaked' and fans absolutely love it He will soon be in better shape and has another run-out on Saturday against Athletic Bilbao. Advertisement Gyokeres tried to score his first goal in spectacular style but failed to connect with an attempted bicycle kick from Bukayo Saka's cross and he had few other chances. In terms of the way he moves and the fact has blonde hair, it was a bit like having Nicklas Bendtner back at the Emirates although it is safe to say Gyokeres will do a bit better than the cocky Dane. Arteta also gave second half Emirates debuts to Christhian Mosquera, Martin Zubimendi, keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and Madueke. Yet the comedy moment of the night was Pepe opening the scoring from close range and then refusing to celebrate. Advertisement Pepe arrived from Lille for that massive amount in 2019 and scored just 27 goals in 112 appearances before joining Trabzonspor on a free transfer in 2023. Many Arsenal fans probably did not realise that Pepe was even playing in this fixture although there was a mixture of jeers and applause when his name was read out after scoring. Etta Eyong scored at the far post for 2-0 before former Brentford captain Norgaard pulled one back with a far post header before the break. The biggest roar of the night came just after the hour when 15-year-old Max Dowman was unleashed. Advertisement Villarreal caught Arsenal on the break with former Bournemouth forward Danjuma making it 3-1 before Dowman won a penalty and Odegaard, who replaced Gyokeres, got Arsenal's second. There was still a shoot-out although Madueke saw his shot saved with one fan shouting: 'send him back to Chelsea.' Meanwhile, Arsenal - yet again - have fitness concerns. Both defender Riccardo Calafiori, who suffered an injury on the tour, along with Kai Havertz, were missing from the squad. Advertisement

Wrexham ‘offered Champions League stars' as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney want Premier League football in TWO YEARS
WREX DO THIS Wrexham 'offered Champions League stars' as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney want Premier League football in TWO YEARS WREXHAM have been offered the chance to sign a number of stars who played in the Champions League last season, according to reports. The Welsh club have enjoyed a stunning rise up the football pyramid to reach the Championship after three back-to-back promotions from the National League. 3 Wrexham have been offered the chance to sign Champions League players this summer Credit: Rex 3 It comes after their bid to land Christian Eriksen left the Dane impressed despite him rejecting them Credit: Getty Their ambitious owners - Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - are determined to write their own Hollywood story into English football and are targeting Premier League football within the next two years. That ambition has led to the Dragons often signing players who are top draw for the division they are in, such as Paul Mullin - the poster boy of their rise - who is now at Wigan on loan. It is something which has already been displayed this summer, with the Racecourse Ground club welcoming Wales international Kieffer Moore yesterday following the arrival of England international Conor Coady. Those two deals have been financed from a war chest said to be bursting with £20million in it. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL GREAL DEAL Everton open talks to sign Jack Grealish in season-long loan deal from Man City They even made a major statement of intent by trying to sign Christian Eriksen following the expiry of his contract at Manchester United. The Dane turned down the deal in hopes of landing a top-flight move but was said to have been left impressed by the offer presented to him by Wrexham CEO Michael Williamson. Despite being knocked back by the midfielder, news of the bid quickly got around and saw Wrexham offered players who would have previously only been considered a dream. According to the Daily Mail, some of the stars offered to them by agents even played in the Champions League last season. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Play Dream Team now!

Manager Phil Parkinson had kept in touch with a number of Dutch agents, while the club itself had eyed players as far as Argentina and Australia while also looking on the European continent. Background checks for players were described as being done "ten to the dozen", prompting a degree of frustration as a so-called "Wrexham Tax" has reared its head. Christian Eriksen in shock transfer talks to join Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham after Man Utd exit Such was the intensity of work as they tried to get deals over the line that Parkinson and Williamson both recall ending a number of their days during the club's pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand at 2 and 3am. At least nine new stars were targeted originally, with a vamped-up forward line top of the priority list. So far they have landed seven, with Lewis O'Brien, Liberato Cacace, Coady, Moore, George Thomason and Ryan Hardie all arriving for a combined £11.1m, while Josh Windass and Danny Ward have also been added on free transfers. Wrexham are now looking to add Ipswich winger Nathan Broadhead in a club record deal of £7.5m. There is also talk of signing highly-rated Ajax star Sivert Mannsverk to bolster the midfield in a deal which could cost around £4m. All of this has also come while the club's ground undergoes a makeover, which includes a £1.7m hybrid pitch with undersoil heating to future proof it for Fifa and Uefa requirements. A new Kop stand is also under construction and expected to be completed for the 2026/27 season which would take the stadium capacity up to 18,000, bigger than Bournemouth and Brentford. The ambition of the owners paired with significant backing has breathed life into a dream many did not consider possible in such a short time span. 3 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW
