Victor Gyokeres Open to Arsenal Move – But Sets Key Condition
Arsenal’s transfer ambitions have taken a positive turn, with Sporting CP striker Victor Gyokeres reportedly open to joining the Premier League club. Recent discussions between the Swedish international and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta are said to have been encouraging. However, Gyokeres has made it clear that his move hinges on one crucial factor.
The 25-year-old forward, who has been in scintillating form for Sporting this season, is eager to compete at the highest level. Arsenal’s strong position in the Premier League and their return to Champions League football make them an attractive destination. However, Gyokeres is seeking assurances regarding his role at the club, particularly in terms of playing time and being a central figure in Arteta’s plans.
“I need assurance,” Gyokeres reportedly stated, emphasizing his desire to avoid a bench-warming role. His demand reflects his ambition to contribute significantly and maintain his upward trajectory as a top striker.
With Arsenal actively seeking reinforcements in attack, the potential signing of Gyokeres could provide much-needed depth and quality. Both parties are optimistic about a resolution, and further developments are expected in the coming weeks as Arsenal look to finalize their winter transfer strategy.
