The new season is almost upon us, but familiar problems resurfaced for Arsenal in their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on Thursday. Mikel Arteta will not be sounding any alarm bells after the loss in Hong Kong,

Arsenal suffered their first defeat of pre-season as they were beaten by Tottenham. Spurs were 1-0 winners in the first-ever north London derby to be staged overseas, with the match taking place in Hong Kong. Pape Matar Sarr scored the only goal of the game just before the break, scoring from just inside the Arsenal half.

So, can Viktor Gyokeres live up to the hype? The center forward Arsenal supporters have craved for years arrived last week, and every indication since it became clear he was Mikel Arteta's man is that the Swede is determined to not be crushed under the weight of expectation.
