Arsenal's striker plans are reportedly beginning to take shape, with TeamTalk claiming that Viktor Gyokeres will not be shown the door until the club secures a replacement up front.
According to the report, the Swedish forward's Emirates future remains under scrutiny, but Arsenal have no intention of letting him leave prematurely and risk being left short of options in attack. Instead, any exit would only be sanctioned once a suitable alternative is lined up.
TeamTalk suggests names such as Julian Alvarez and Ivan Toney have entered the conversation as potential targets to eventually take over the central striker role at the Emirates.
For now, though, nothing appears imminent. Gyokeres is understood to remain part of Arsenal's plans in the short term, with the club prioritising squad stability over a hasty reshuffle. Any movement in the striker market looks set to be dictated by whether Arsenal can first identify and land the right man to lead the line, rather than rushing to offload their current forward.
As it stands, this remains speculation rather than a confirmed transfer stance, with Arsenal yet to make any official comment on Gyokeres' situation.
