Overview
- Gyokeres scored for Sweden in a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina in Zenica on Saturday, becoming the first player to score in six consecutive UEFA Nations League matches.
- He had an earlier goal in the game ruled out by VAR for handball and was left frustrated after Bosnia equalised late to deny Sweden the win.
- Gyokeres has played only 29 minutes in the Premier League so far this season as Mikel Arteta has preferred Kai Havertz to lead the line.
- Havertz sustained a muscle or hamstring issue on international duty and is a doubt for Arsenal’s match on October 10, creating a likely short-term chance for Gyokeres to start and translate his form to the club.
- Transfer reports say Arsenal value Gyokeres at more than £60 million, are resisting loan offers, and face interest from clubs such as Juventus and AC Milan if the striker does not secure regular minutes.
