3 Arsenal Players in Danger as Viktor Gyokeres Signing Nears Completion

As Arsenal close in on the high-profile signing of Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, reportedly for £63 million, several first-team stars could find themselves on the chopping block.

With Mikel Arteta retooling his squad for a genuine title push, these three attacking players may be forced out to make room or balance the books.

Once hailed as Arsenal’s most versatile attacker, Leandro Trossard now finds himself slipping down the pecking order.

The Belgian forward filled in admirably last season, scoring and assisting in crucial moments, but the arrival of Gyokeres makes him increasingly expendable.

With Arsenal spending aggressively this summer, Trossard is one of the more marketable assets.

Arteta may decide to cash in, especially if younger or more dynamic wingers are brought in.

Gyokeres’ arrival gives Arteta a proper No. 9, making Trossard's rotation role less vital.

When Gabriel Jesus arrived from Manchester City, he was expected to be Arsenal’s long-term solution at striker.

Fast forward two seasons, and recurring injuries, including an ACL issue, have severely limited his impact.

Jesus is now playing backup to Kai Havertz, and with Gyokeres entering the frame, his route back into the first XI looks bleak.

While Arteta has publicly backed the Brazilian, the club could be open to selling himespecially if a good offer comes in.

With limited appearances and a high wage bill, Jesus risks becoming a luxury Arsenal can’t afford.

Few players divide opinion at Arsenal like Kai Havertz.

Signed for £65 million from Chelsea, he impressed with 17 goal contributions in his first season.

However, an untimely hamstring injury derailed his momentum, and his form since returning has been inconsistent at best.

Gyokeres’ signing directly threatens Havertz’s role as a central striker.

If Arteta pivots to a traditional frontman, Havertz could either be pushed back into midfield or become surplus to requirements altogether.

Havertz may still have a future but no longer as Arsenal’s go-to striker. Gyokeres is likely to lead the line, and Havertz must now fight for relevance.

Players like Trossard, Jesus, and Havertz now find themselves at a career crossroads.

Whether they stay and fight or move on, their futures will depend heavily on how Arteta reshapes Arsenal's attack this summer.
