Opinion: Why January is Arsenal’s best chance to offload Gyokeres

Viktor Gyokeres is struggling for regular game time at Arsenal, and while many supporters believe he is being kept out of the starting line-up because a better option is ahead of him, his limited involvement could also be affecting the team’s attacking output.

The Swedish striker arrived with a strong reputation, but he has yet to consistently deliver the goals expected of him. Gyokeres joined the Gunners after scoring almost 100 goals in two seasons at Sporting Club, establishing himself as one of the most prolific forwards in European football.

Those performances raised expectations, with Arsenal hoping his finishing ability would make a significant difference to their attack.
