Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur continue preseason preparations on Thursday, when the north London rivals meet outside the UK for the first time in derby history — in a so-called friendly — in Hong Kong.

New Tottenham boss Thomas Frank will get his first taste of north London's eternal footballing rivalry as his Spurs team takes on Arsenal in this intriguing preseason friendly in Hong Kong on Thursday.

The interview with Viktor Gyokeres took place at the Arsenal team hotel in Hong Kong. There were supporters lined up on the driveway and also in the lobby hoping to meet some of their heroes. I had been introduced to Gyokeres after his unveiling at the Newcastle match in Singapore and his stature is one of the first things you notice - he is an imposing figure.

Viktor Gyokeres has confirmed it was an easy choice to join Arsenal despite failed late interest from Manchester United. Gyokeres has joined the Gunners on a deal worth around £64million as Mikel Arteta finally lands the the out-and-out striker his squad has sorely lacked during a five-year trophy drought.

F ans have given their verdict on Viktor Gyokeres after the Swedish striker came off the bench to make his debut in Arsenal 's 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in a pre-season North London Derby. Gyokeres joined the Gunners from Sporting CP earlier this month in a £64m deal after weeks of negotiations between the two clubs for the 27-year-old.
