Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres is reportedly considering a departure during the upcoming January transfer window due to limited playing time. Despite a successful previous season where he scored 21 goals to help Arsenal secure the Premier League title, the 28-year-old has seen his role diminished as Kai Havertz has become the preferred choice under manager Mikel Arteta. Gyökeres has expressed frustration regarding his lack of match opportunities. While he recently scored a winning goal for Sweden in a 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Romania, he continues to struggle for a starting role at the club level. An opportunity for more minutes may arise as Havertz undergoes medical tests for a muscle strain sustained while playing for Germany. Transfer interest is intensifying. As the 2026/27 campaign progresses, Gyökeres has seen his involvement drop further, totaling only 29 Premier League minutes to date. While Galatasaray, Juventus, AC Milan, he has found form internationally, scoring twice in two matches for Sweden against Romania and Saudi Arabian clubs have been linked to Poland, his club situation remains uncertain. Although transfer interest from Serie A and the striker, Arsenal’s stance on a potential exit Saudi Pro League persists, Gyökeres has become clearer. Although AC Milan stated that an exit from Arsenal was “never under serious consideration.” However, the striker has shown interest, faced criticism from former Arsenal is reportedly unwilling to consider a loan deal. Instead, defender Armand Traore, who claimed he lacks the club is seeking ‘killer instinct’ and ‘aura’ of legendary players such as Thierry Henry or Didier Drogba. Arsenal previously indicated they would only consider a permanent transfer, with financial demands expected to exceed €70 million.
