Viktor Gyokeres has broken his silence over a possible exit from Arsenal, with the Swedish striker making clear he wants as many minutes on the pitch as possible. Mikel Arteta's preference for Kai Havertz through the middle has cost him a regular place in the starting line-up. Speaking candidly, Gyokeres said his main aim is to play week in, week out, and against that backdrop a £38.5m bid for him is already being prepared.
The Gunners are awaiting a formal offer and will only sanction a sale if the fee meets their asking price in full. The striker's representatives, meanwhile, are already actively exploring options both in Europe and beyond. Arsenal's hierarchy will make a final decision on the forward's future before the January transfer window closes.
