EPL: ‘Big factor’ – Wayne Rooney names signing of the season

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has named Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres as the Premier League signing of the season.

Rooney believes the Sweden international was a ‘big factor’ in Arsenal winning the Premier League.

When asked to name his ‘Premier League signing of the season’ after the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign, Rooney said on his BBC podcast: “I think Viktor Gyokeres.

“Granit Xhaka has been brilliant for Sunderland, but look at what Gyokeres has brought to Arsenal; it’s exactly what they have needed.

“Finishing second over the last three years, I think he’s given Arsenal something a bit different, and that’s been a big factor in them winning the Premier League.”

Arsenal signed Gyokeres from Portuguese club Sporting CP last summer.
