In the first round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 1-0 away thanks to Calafiori’s goal. Arsenal’s summer signing Viktor Gyökeres played 60 minutes in this match without a single shot. However, according to statistics from an overseas blogger, Gyökeres touched his hair 21 times during the game.
Gyökeres joined Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon this summer for €65.8 million. His impressive goal tally and efficiency in the Primeira Liga had raised high expectations among many fans. But based on the data from this match, his underwhelming stats—starting and playing 60 minutes with 0 shots—have indeed left many fans worried.
Notably, after watching the full match, the overseas blogger counted that Gyökeres touched his hair 21 times, which was only 1 less than his total number of touches in the game (22). He completed 9 passes with a success rate of just 44%. He also committed 3 fouls, the highest in the game, and lost possession 11 times.
Shortly after joining Arsenal, Gyökeres got a new hairstyle at a London barbershop called Barber King, looking quite stylish, showing that he has a high regard for his hairstyle.
