Former Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom has urged Arsenal to sign Viktor Gyokeres over Benjamin Sesko this summer.

“If Arsenal are looking for now, then it’s Gyokeres, if Arsenal had Gyokeres the past two seasons, I’m not saying they would’ve won the league…I think Gyokeres is a beast, and we need him now.”
