Speaking while away with Sweden , the striker also described his communication with Mikel Arteta as “good”, offering little indication that he sees his current situation as a reason to look elsewhere. Asked directly whether he wanted to remain at Arsenal, Gyökeres replied : “I want to!” His league opportunities have been limited this season, with Kai Havertz fit and generally preferred to lead the attack, but Gyökeres doesn’t seem to be letting it get to him. “It feels good when I’ve played,” he said.

I’ve been doing well lately when I’ve been playing. Right now, it feels good.” Gyökeres has started only one Premier League match this season but has six starts across all competitions. He was again among the substitutes for Saturday’s 1-0 win over Hull City , despite having scored and provided an assist against Slavia Prague in the previous Champions League match. “The communication with [Mikel] Arteta is good,” he added. “We talk about football and how we should play. Before a match, if I’m going to start, we talk about the opponents and what I should think about.” Since arriving at Arsenal at the start of last season, Gyokeres has 23 goals and six assists in 69 games, averaging a goal or assist every 141 minutes. To contrast, Havertz scores or assists every 147 minutes. Photo by Clive Mason/Getty Images
