Victor Gyokeres Open to Arsenal Switch – But Insists on Key Requirement
Arsenal’s transfer plans have gained momentum, with Sporting CP forward Victor Gyokeres reportedly showing willingness to join the Premier League side. Reports suggest that recent talks between the Swedish international and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta have been promising. Nonetheless, Gyokeres has set one pivotal condition for the move.
The 25-year-old striker, who has been in exceptional form for Sporting this season, is determined to play at the highest level. Arsenal’s strong standing in the Premier League and their return to Champions League football make them an appealing option. However, Gyokeres is seeking guarantees about his role at the club, particularly regarding playing time and being a key part of Arteta’s plans.
“I need assurance,” Gyokeres is quoted as saying, underlining his determination to avoid being relegated to a secondary role. His stance highlights his ambition to remain an integral figure and continue his rise as a leading striker.
As Arsenal aims to strengthen their attacking options, the potential acquisition of Gyokeres could add crucial depth and quality to their squad. Both sides remain optimistic about reaching an agreement, with further updates expected in the coming weeks as Arsenal fine-tunes their winter transfer strategy.
