Gyokeres says he wants to stay at Arsenal despite limited starts
The Sweden striker described good communication with Mikel Arteta and has contributed two goals and three assists across his last six Arsenal appearances.
Viktor Gyokeres has said he intends to remain at Arsenal despite speculation over his future, having started just one Premier League match this season. Speaking while with Sweden’s national team, the striker said he felt positive about his performances and his relationship with manager Mikel Arteta.
In interviews with Fotbollskanalen and TV4, Gyokeres described regular discussions with Arteta about tactics and, when selected to start, the opposition. He said results had generally been positive for both himself and Arsenal, apart from a League Cup defeat by Fleetwood.
Gyokeres also acknowledged that criticism in the English press occasionally affected him, though he said its overall impact was limited. He emphasized that his attention remained on helping Arsenal through goals and assists rather than external judgments of his displays.
His recent record includes two goals and three assists across his last six Arsenal matches. He started three of those games, with some of his contributions coming from opportunities off the bench.
