Viktor Gyökeres insists he wants to stay at Arsenal amid transfer speculation

Viktor Gyökeres has made it clear that he wants to remain at Arsenal despite growing speculation over a possible January departure.

The Sweden international has been linked with several clubs, including Juventus, AC Milan and Atlético Madrid, as well as Saudi Pro League sides Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli. However, the striker has dismissed suggestions that he is looking to leave north London.

Asked by Swedish outlet Fotbollskanalen whether he wanted to stay at Arsenal, Gyökeres replied: “I want to.”

The 28-year-old has enjoyed more opportunities in recent weeks after a difficult start to the campaign. He scored and provided an assist in Arsenal's 2-1 Champions League victory over Slavia Prague.

Gyökeres also spoke positively about his relationship with Mikel Arteta, insisting that communication with the Arsenal manager is good.

“I've done well recently when I've had the chance to play. Right now, it feels good,” he added.
