GYÖKERES TRANSFER RUMOUR EMERGES — ARSENAL EXIT SPECULATION GROWS
A fresh transfer rumour surrounding Viktor Gyökeres has emerged, with reports claiming that clubs in Italy have made contact with the Arsenal striker’s representatives over a possible move.
According to a report published by Football Italia and carried by LiveScore, AC Milan and Juventus have opened discussions with Gyökeres’ representatives as the striker’s situation at Arsenal continues to attract attention. The report also claims that Saudi Arabian clubs Al Ahli and Al Ittihad have shown interest.
However, there is currently no official confirmation from Arsenal that Gyökeres is available for transfer or that the club has decided to sell him. The reports should therefore be treated as transfer speculation rather than a confirmed January exit.
The speculation is linked to Gyökeres’ reduced role at Arsenal this season. Reports suggest that Kai Havertz has moved ahead of the Sweden international in Mikel Arteta’s preferred options through the middle, leaving Gyökeres with fewer opportunities.
The situation is particularly interesting because Gyökeres only joined Arsenal in 2025 after an impressive spell with Sporting CP. Despite facing criticism during his first season in England,
he reportedly scored 14 Premier League goals and 21 goals in all competitions, helping Arsenal win the Premier League title and reach the Champions League final.
According to the same report, Arsenal are not actively looking to sell Gyökeres. However, the club could potentially consider a January departure if a suitable replacement is secured first. That means much could depend on Arsenal’s plans in the upcoming transfer window.
AC Milan would reportedly offer Gyökeres the possibility of working again with Ruben Amorim, while Juventus are also monitoring the situation. Saudi clubs have been mentioned as potential destinations because of their financial capacity.
For now, Gyökeres remains an Arsenal player, and there has been no official announcement confirming an exit.
The coming months could reveal whether the latest reports develop into serious negotiations or remain simply another transfer rumour.
