Last Sunday, Arsenal played their first match of the Premier League campaign of 2025-26 against one of their biggest rivals, Manchester United, at Old Trafford Stadium. Despite getting the hard fought victory, their new signing made his debut in this match, but none of the debutants had been really impressive.
Martin Zubimendi, the Spanish International who snubbed Liverpool Football Club to join Arsenal, also failed to impress. Noni Madueke came from the bench but could not do anything special. But the worst debutant of Arsenal last Sunday against Manchester United was Viktor Gyokeres, who can also be considered the worst player on the field for Arsenal last Sunday.

Viktor Gyokeres arrived at Arsenal during this transfer window for a reported fee of £55 million. He was extremely impressive for Sporting last season as he scored 54 goals in all competitions. Instantly, he became a matter of discussion for all the big clubs, and ultimately, it was Arsenal who were able to secure the signature of the Swedish International.

A large number of fans are not happy with the way he performed in his debut match for Arsenal, but a big fan base is also optimistic about his future and claims that it was just his first game; it is not very easy for everyone to adapt from the very beginning. He can definitely come back stronger in the upcoming games.
About the other debutants, Martin Zubimendi, who arrived in the club from Real Sociedad for a reported fee of around £56 million, was also quite poor last Sunday. Zubimendi was one of the biggest matters of interest for Liverpool since last season, but the Spanish International decided to join Arsenal. Viktor Gyokeres remainder the biggest matter of concern for the Arsenal fans, but since it is just his game, he has all the time in the world to bounce back soon.
