Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has named Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres as the Premier League signing of the season.

Rooney believes the Sweden international was a ‘big factor’ in Arsenal winning the Premier League.

When asked to name his ‘Premier League signing of the season’ after the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign, Rooney said on his BBC podcast: “I think Viktor Gyokeres.

“Granit Xhaka has been brilliant for Sunderland, but look at what Gyokeres has brought to Arsenal; it’s exactly what they have needed.

“Finishing second over the last three years, I think he’s given Arsenal something a bit different, and that’s been a big factor in them winning the Premier League.”

Arsenal signed Gyokeres from Portuguese club Sporting CP last summer.
