VIK WILL NOT SWEAT OVER ICONIC SHIRT

Easy for Gyokeres to pick No.14 worn by Gunners legend Henry

- From Nick Callow in Hong Kong

VIKTOR GYOKERES knows exactly what comes with the territory.

Arsenal’s new £60million striker has chosen to wear the iconic No.14 shirt made famous by Thierry Henry.

And he is not shying away from the weight it carries.

“Of course I know about the history,” said Gyokeres. “There weren't too many to pick from.

“But of course that one was available. So when I knew that, it was an easy choice to take it.”

Gyokeres is not chasing comparisons with the club legend either.

“It’s not really my intention to be compared with what he’s achieved in his career,” said the 27-year-old. “Especially here.

“I just want to do my own thing and show my qualities.

“Of course he was an amazing player but different from me. I just want to try to do my own thing.”
