The Gunners are among the growing group of elite European clubs who are tracking the 22-year-old, but they have an element of concern about their current striker depth.

Gyokeres has grown frustrated at his lack of football of late, and could potentially push for a move away from the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season.

The Brugge ace netted 23 goals in all competitions last term, and already has 12 to his name from just 14 games in 2026-27.

Viktor Gyokeres assessing Arsenal future

Gyokeres has fallen behind Kai Havertz in the striker pecking order at Arsenal so far this season, with Arteta routinely preferring the German to lead the line.

The former Coventry City man knows that he needs to be playing regularly at this stage of his career, and could push to depart next summer, Football Insider recently revealed.

That would open the door for Arsenal to swoop in and sign Tresoldi, who is one of the hottest prospects in European football right now.

Arsenal are keen to avoid bringing him in and then stunting his development, but are also prepared to act if a slot opens up in their squad.

The Spanish boss was booked for the offence during his team’s win over Everton last weekend, the second time he has been cautioned for that already this season.

King made it clear that Arteta’s animated actions on the touchline are simply not necessarily, and should be dealt with more harshly in future.

The former Everton midfielder has gained a reputation among fans for leaving his technical area on a frequent basis, and officials are now sticking to pick up on his habit as well.
