Victor Gyökeres was never Mikel Arteta’s first-choice target — that honor went to Benjamin Šeško. The Swedish striker turned down a move to Manchester United in favor of joining Arsenal, unaware that Šeško would also be making his way to the Emirates.
Now, the stage is set for a dramatic showdown in their very first Premier League game at Old Trafford. If Gyökeres manages to find the net once, expectations are that Šeško could respond with a hat-trick, sparking an intense battle for dominance up front.
