Gyokeres Pushing for Arsenal Exit in January
Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly keen to leave Arsenal during the January transfer window, according to reporting by BBC Sport Football and the Mirror. The Swedish forward, 28, has struggled to establish himself since joining the club from Sporting CP for £63.5 million last summer.
Gyokeres has been severely limited for opportunities this season, accumulating just 56 Premier League minutes without registering a goal or assist. His lack of playing time under manager Mikel Arteta has prompted the forward to consider his future at the Emirates Stadium.
The Mirror reports that Arsenal's pursuit of Atlético Madrid's Julián Álvarez during the summer window may have further complicated Gyokeres' prospects. The Argentine striker ultimately chose Barcelona over a move to north London, leaving the door open for Arsenal to renew their interest in January. Should Álvarez arrive, Gyokeres' pathway to regular football would appear significantly diminished.
According to TeamTalk, Atlético Madrid remains a potential destination for Gyokeres should he depart Arsenal. The Spanish club previously expressed interest in the forward during summer discussions.
