Viktor Gyokeres has struggled to establish himself in the Arsenal team this season, leaving the Swedish striker frustrated after expecting to receive more minutes during the campaign. He has continued working to prove that he can lead the line at the Emirates, but opportunities have remained limited.
Gyokeres has done his best to make an impression whenever he has been given the chance, although Kai Havertz has remained Mikel Arteta’s preferred option up front. The German has continued to start regularly, making it difficult for Gyokeres to build a consistent run of appearances.
Gyokeres facing limited opportunities
Arteta is expected to continue using Havertz unless the German is suspended or suffers an injury, leaving Gyokeres in a difficult position. The Swedish striker needs regular football to build confidence, but his current situation at Arsenal has made that difficult.
The lack of opportunities could become increasingly frustrating for Gyokeres, particularly as he continues trying to adapt to his role at the club. Arsenal will also have to consider the longer-term implications of his limited involvement if his situation does not change.
Gyokeres’ lack of playing time could also have financial consequences for Arsenal if the club eventually decides to sell him. His market value may become an important consideration if Arsenal’s plans include replacing him with another striker in the future.

Arsenal could face financial consequences
Julian Alvarez has been an important transfer target for Arsenal, and a move for the forward could become more relevant if the club decides to make a change in attack. However, Arsenal could face a significant financial setback if they choose to move Gyokeres on after his limited involvement.
Football London reports that Gyokeres’ market value has taken a nosedive in recent weeks as a result of his lack of action in the Arsenal team. That could leave Arsenal facing a considerable loss compared with the amount they paid to sign him.
The situation could therefore become increasingly important for Arsenal as the season progresses. If Gyokeres continues to struggle for minutes, his value could remain under pressure, while the club would have to consider its options regarding his future and whether a change in attack is necessary.
