Mikel Arteta don promise say every Arsenal player go get im chance dis season, even as Viktor Gyokeres still dey find im way back to starting line-up.
Di Swedish striker bin dey for bench again for Arsenal 1-0 victory over Aston Villa for Premier League, and e don raise plenty question about im future for Emirates Stadium.
Gyokeres wey join Arsenal from Sporting last summer for big money, bin don score 21 goals across all competitions for im first season for di Gunners. But dis new season, e neva play any minute for Arsenal first two league matches. Kai Havertz na im Arteta dey prefer for di striking role.
Na so di matter take hot as reports say Arsenal bin dey push hard to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. Alvarez, wey dem regard as one of di best strikers for Europe, bin don be topic for transfer saga involving Barcelona. But Atletico no wan sell am to dia La Liga rivals, so Arsenal see opportunity. However, Alvarez no get any intention to return to England, and di deal no happen.
Dis development don spark talk say if Arsenal don sign Alvarez, e for don affect Gyokeres position. But di move no materialise, so Gyokeres likely to remain at Arsenal beyond di transfer deadline. Still, im future for long term no dey certain.
Di fact say Gyokeres no dey featured for both league games so far go ring alarm bells. Champions League minutes go soon dey available, but e go take something special for am to force im way back into Arteta plans. And with Alvarez relationship with Atletico look like e don rupture, Arsenal fit try again for future.
Arteta talk say every player go get chance, but di way things dey go now, Gyokeres fit wait tire.
