Gyokeres pushing for Arsenal exit in January

Viktor Gyokeres wants to leave Arsenal in January due to lack of playing time.

Viktor Gyokeres is pushing for a move away from Arsenal in the January transfer window, with both the Mirror Sport and BBC Sport confirming the Swedish forward wants to leave due to a lack of playing time.

Gyokeres, 28, has struggled to make an impact since joining from Sporting CP for £63.5million last summer. This season he has been restricted to just 56 Premier League minutes and has failed to register a goal or assist. The Mirror Sport reports that the striker is keen to depart the Emirates Stadium after finding it difficult to establish himself in Mikel Arteta's system over the past 12 months.

The Mirror Sport also suggests that Atletico Madrid could be a possible destination for Gyokeres should he leave Arsenal. Arsenal are also reportedly preparing a renewed push to sign Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez in January, which would further diminish Gyokeres' prospects of securing first-team football at the club.
