According to The Athletic, Viktor Gyokeres‘ decision to wear the iconic No.14 jersey —once donned by club legend Thierry Henry has triggered unprecedented demand. Arsenal’s official online store temporarily crashed due to overwhelming traffic from fans eager to customize jerseys with “Gyokeres” on the back.
In a historic first, Gyokeres‘ No.14 jersey has become the best-selling shirt of any Arsenal signing in club history. To celebrate the high-profile arrival, Arsenal is also offering free name printing on all 2024/25 kits featuring his name a service typically priced at £16.
By choosing the No.14 shirt, Gyokeres signals his intent to follow in the footsteps of Henry, who scored 174 Premier League goals and led the Gunners to five major trophies, including the legendary Invincibles season in 2004.
While Gyokeres has yet to make his competitive debut, the enthusiasm surrounding his arrival is undeniable. With Arsenal struggling to find a consistent No.9 in recent seasons—often rotating between Leandro Trossard and even Mikel Merino—fans are hopeful that Gyokeres will be the elite striker Arsenal has long needed.
The journey has only just begun, but one thing is clear: Viktor Gyokeres is already writing his own chapter in Arsenal history.
