Viktor Gyokeres Considers January Exit from Arsenal

Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly contemplating an exit from Arsenal during the January transfer window due to frustration over his lack of Premier League starts. The 28-year-old Sweden international joined Arsenal from Sporting CP in 2025 for over £60 million, scoring 21 goals in his first season, including 14 in the Premier League, contributing to Arsenal's league title and UEFA Champions League final appearance.

However, his limited opportunities this season have led him to reconsider his future at the Emirates Stadium. Intermediaries are exploring potential destinations, with Atletico Madrid among the clubs interested.

Discussions regarding Gyokeres occurred during the summer when Atletico Madrid engaged with Arsenal’s sporting director, Andrea Berta. Arsenal is also evaluating options in the forward market, which may lead to Gyokeres' departure if a suitable offer arises.

The club's interest in Atletico forward Julian Alvarez has raised concerns about Gyokeres' long-term position in manager Mikel Arteta's plans, as he has yet to start a Premier League match this season.
