Overview
- Gyokeres has fallen down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta with Kai Havertz preferred up front and the Sweden forward receiving only sporadic minutes this season.
- This week multiple outlets reported that Gyokeres’ representatives have held initial talks with AC Milan, Juventus and Saudi clubs Al Ahli and Al Ittihad.
- AC Milan are said to favour a loan with an option to buy while Juventus have shown less enthusiasm, according to Italy reports.
- Arsenal are not actively trying to sell Gyokeres now but have made clear they would permit a January departure if they first recruit a direct replacement, with renewed links to Julián Álvarez after Barcelona cooled interest.
- Gyokeres, who joined from Sporting for about £64m and scored 21 goals in his debut season, is understood to be frustrated by limited game time and will use the international break to seek form ahead of a transfer window that could reshape Arsenal’s attack.
