Viktor Gyokeres could be set to leave Arsenal during the upcoming January transfer window. The Swedish striker, who joined the London club only 18 months ago, has grown frustrated with his lack of playing time under Mikel Arteta.
The forward has yet to make a single start for the Gunners in the Premier League this season, leading him to question his future at the Emirates Stadium. His concerns have been further amplified by Arsenal’s reported interest in Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez. Gyokeres fears that the arrival of a new striker would push him further down the pecking order.
Atletico Madrid is already monitoring the situation, having previously discussed the player during negotiations for Alvarez. There is also reported interest from clubs across England, Italy, and Germany, providing the striker with several potential destinations.
For their part, Arsenal may be open to a sale if the price is right and a replacement can be secured. The club is actively looking to bolster its attacking options and is prepared to discuss a departure if it facilitates their broader transfer strategy. Reports suggest a valuation of approximately £64 million.
