Viktor Gyokeres explores Arsenal exit amid limited playing time
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly considering his future at the Emirates Stadium due to frustration over limited playing time. Despite a successful debut season where he scored 21 goals in all competitions and helped the club secure the Premier League title, the Swedish international has fallen behind Kai Havertz in Mikel Arteta’s tactical hierarchy.
Reports indicate that Gyokeres’ representatives have initiated preliminary discussions with several clubs ahead of the January transfer window. Interested parties include Italian sides Juventus and AC Milan, as well as Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad.
While Arsenal is not actively seeking to sell the 28-year-old, the club may show flexibility regarding his departure if they can secure a high-profile replacement during the winter window. Potential targets mentioned in connection with the club include Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi.
