Arsenal star holds talks with Juventus amidst struggles for minutes | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres has been linked with a move to Juventus in the next transfer window as the striker continues to struggle for regular game time at Arsenal.

He was one of the deadliest strikers in the world during the 2024/2025 season and moved to Arsenal last year, but he now finds himself on the bench behind Kai Havertz.

That is not an ideal situation for Gyokeres, and he could ask to change clubs as soon as the year ends, with Juve hoping to secure a loan move for him until the end of the season.

The Bianconeri signed Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade in the last transfer window, but they would still jump at the opportunity to add Gyokeres to their squad.

Juventus believe Gyokeres can rediscover the form that made him one of the hottest properties in Europe during the summer of 2025, and the striker could be open to making the move.

His current situation at Arsenal could encourage him to consider a temporary switch, particularly if he continues to struggle for opportunities under the current circumstances.

Football Italia says his entourage have held talks with the Bianconeri ahead of the next transfer window, although Juventus are not the only Serie A club they have spoken with.

The report adds that Gyokeres’ representatives have also spoken with AC Milan, meaning there could be competition for his signature if Arsenal decide to allow him to leave.

Arsenal Decision Could Shape Transfer

Both Juventus and AC Milan are keen to sign the striker, giving Gyokeres potential options if he becomes available during the January transfer window.

For Juventus, adding the Arsenal striker would provide another attacking option, despite the club having already strengthened their forward line with Kolo Muani and Woltemade.

The Bianconeri believe Gyokeres still has the ability to rediscover the form that made him such a highly regarded striker in 2025.

In the coming weeks, the key issue will be what Arsenal think about allowing Gyokeres to leave the club in the January transfer window, with Juventus waiting to see whether a loan deal can become possible.
