Gyökeres on Henry comparison: "It's not really my intention to be compared with what he's achieved in his career, 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.

"Of course I know about the history. But to be honest there weren't so many numbers available. 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."

Gyökeres on choosing Arsenal: "I think you can always have a decision [over] your future, Of course there were other clubs as well, but I didn't feel it was a difficult choice for me this time."

Gyökeres on his Long awaiting transfer to Arsenal: "I tried to train as much as possible by myself and keep the day going, A lot of days were the same kind of routine. I woke up, trained, had dinner and then went to bed again. It was like that for a few weeks, but it was worth it for sure.

"It's been a new experience. I haven't really been in that situation before. It's been a lot of waiting from my side. I wanted to come here, but it wasn't that easy. But I'm finally here and it feels great."

Gyökeres: "I think I'll have to adapt. But I think there are a lot of players from Portugal who have done even better in England. It depends on who you pick.

"I think it's difficult to compare one player to another. And how they're performing in a different league. Because there are a lot of different factors. Not only a better league. If you play in a better team also, it makes it easier. Especially if you're an attacking player. So we'll have to see.

"I think I have enough expectations on myself. I'll just try to perform anyway, to be honest -- just to keep going the way I've been doing the last couple of years. Just trying to improve as well on the pitch. Try to help the team as much as I can."
