Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres is becoming a transfer target for AC Milan, Juventus, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad.
The Swedish international is said to be frustrated with his current situation at Arsenal, and has clearly fallen down the hierarchy this season.

Despite scoring 21 goals in all competitions last season and helping Arsenal to the Premier League title and all the way to the Champions League final, Gyökeres’ overall contribution to Mikel Arteta’s team has been questioned.
With Arteta now clearly preferring Kai Havertz as his first choice up top, it seems as if Gyökeres is considering his future.
Viktor Gyökeres open to leaving Arsenal
Although Arsenal are not actively looking to sell Gyökeres, it is understood that there could be some flexibility – in that a big striker could be brought in in January.
And the player himself is already exploring options outside the Emirates Stadium. His representatives are said to have held preliminary talks with Milan, Juventus, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad.
Arsenal fans are likely to be divided on this matter, as Gyökeres can still play an important role throughout a long and demanding season.
At the same time, it makes sense that the decision could be taken out of Arsenal’s hands if Gyökeres himself pushes for more playing time.
Can Arsenal replace Viktor Gyökeres?
It is reasonable to believe that Arsenal will continue to follow the striker market, after they were in contact with several big names in the summer.
Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi is said to be on Arsenal’s radar.
