According to reports from across the Channel by 'CaughtOffside' Milan have made very early exploratory contact with the representatives of Viktor Gyokeres, the Swedish striker currently playing for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
The forward, who moved to London from Sporting CP in the summer of 2025 for a huge €67 million, is reportedly growing increasingly frustrated at the Emirates Stadium due to his limited playing time. The intriguing possibility could set the stage for a major January 2027 transfer, potentially giving Rúben Amorim a world-class addition to his squad.
The numbers from the opening stages of the Premier League season leave little room for interpretation: the Swede has accumulated very limited playing time, with just 207 minutes in five appearances across the league, domestic cups and Champions League, often coming on only in the closing stages of matches. This situation has prompted the striker’s representatives to take action behind the scenes, sounding out top European clubs in search of a move that could restore the central role he has lost.
Milan-London axis: The Rossoneri’s plan for a January move
News of Gyokeres’ discontent has immediately caught the attention of Milan’s management. While closely monitoring the development of their own attacking department, the Rossoneri have reportedly held initial talks with the Swedish striker’s agents to assess the feasibility of a deal. The idea would be to negotiate a loan move for the January transfer window, as relayed via Pianeta Milan. Juventus have reportedly made a similar approach to the player's representatives.
While Arsenal are not actively looking to sell Gyokeres, it is understood that there could be some flexibility of a big-name forward can be brought in in January. As per the source, "the player himself is already exploring options away from the Emirates Stadium, with his representatives holding initial talks with Milan, Juve, Al Ahli, and Al Ittihad."
