Galatasaray plot January move for Arsenal forward Viktor Gyökeres | OneFootball

Galatasaray are exploring a January move for Arsenal forward Viktor Gyökeres, with an enquiry to test the club’s stance under consideration, according to Turkish-Football.com.

The Süper Lig champions are working through the finances to see whether an ambitious loan or a structured proposal could be put forward in the winter window.

The 28-year-old completed a high-profile switch to North London after a prolific spell at Sporting CP. He has been used mainly as a rotation option by Mikel Arteta this season, playing 207 minutes without a goal or assist.

Head coach Okan Buruk is keen to add physical presence to his front line as the Yellow-Reds chase progress at home and in Europe. Gyökeres is viewed as a profile who could complement or rotate in central roles.

Extracting a forward mid-season from Arsenal would pose significant logistical and financial hurdles. Galatasaray are keen to keep communication channels open and to signal their readiness should a January opportunity materialise.
