Arsenal striker, Viktor Gyökeres, has congratulated former Newcastle forward, Alexander Isak, after he joined the Premier League champions, Liverpool.
The Gunners forward while rejoicing with his international teammate, also played down on talk of “player power.”
Gyökeres and Isak joined Arsenal and Liverpool respectively following protracted negotiations.
The Sporting president during the period criticised Gyökeres and made it clear that he will not accept “blackmail and insults” as the player pushed for a move.

On transfer deadline day, Isak signed for Liverpool after forcing his way out of Newcastle United.
Responding to a question on “player power”, Gyökeres insisted that not everyone gets their way.
He said, “I congratulated Isak for the move.
“I don’t really know the situation exactly, so it’s difficult for me to speak about that.
“When it’s a player that is not wanted in a club, I think it’s the total opposite, he doesn’t have any power, the club can literally do whatever they want.”
