Arsenal: Gyökeres plays down Thierry Henry comparisons after taking No.14

Arsenal’s new star signing Viktor Gyökeres (27) has been handed the iconic No.14 shirt — once worn by club legend Thierry Henry.

But the Swedish striker has no plans to invite comparisons with the French great. “Of course, I know the history. To be honest, there weren’t many numbers available. But that one was, and the choice was easy,” Gyökeres told the press.

“I’m not looking to be compared to what he achieved, especially here. I just want to do my job and show my qualities. Of course, he was an incredible player — but very different from me.”
