This was a truly excellent signing for Arsenal. I believe we'll see a much better Arsenal forward this year. They signed a player who performed exceptionally well with Sporting Lisbon last year. The Swedish striker also played exceptionally well for the Swedish national team. I'm sure he'll score plenty of goals for Arsenal in the Premier League. He's good enough to fill the gap in quality strikers Arsenal have been needing for a long time.
I won't lie that I began wishing that Man UTD should just grab the guy because it was as if Arsenal weren't serious but who knows if it wasn't for the fear that Man UTD could come in and put more money that strengthened the Gunners to hurry up with the deal? Either ways, at least for the first time in a long time, the club have gone for a quality striker and achieved it. Now their fans would breathe easy that the deal has been dusted and now they can now wait for the season to start.
Arsenal will be playing against AC Milan tomorrow as part of the club friendlies, let's see if this news would spur them to win.
