CHAN 2024: Benni McCarthy Credits President Ruto's Rare Aura for Calming Harambee Stars
Benni McCarthy has praised President William Ruto's composed leadership, which has brought calm and confidence to Harambee Stars ahead of CHAN 2024.
He expressed his pleasure at Gyokeres' success and hopes he can make a significant contribution to Arsenal. At Arsenal, Viktor Gyokeres will wear the No. 14 shirt for Arsenal, a number made famous by club legend Thierry Henry.
However, he seems unlikely to be intimidated, given his dedicated approach to his career. Former Arsenal academy product and current Coventry midfielder Ben Sheaf, who played alongside Viktor Gyokeres for two and a half years, praised his former teammate's drive.
"When he arrived on loan from Brighton, he was in and out of the team but showed glimpses of quality," Sheaf told The Athletic. "He signed permanently after the initial loan, returning stronger and even more physical."
Sheaf also recounted a training ground incident that highlighted Viktor Gyokeres' physicality, where he pinned and rolled him, and there was nothing he could do about it.
