Troy Deeney discusses Viktor Gyokeres status at Arsenal

Viktor Gyokeres faces limited playing time at Arsenal this season, currently operating as a reserve option behind Kai Havertz. Former striker Troy Deeney stated that the Swede is fortunate to remain with the club following recent transfer speculation. During the latest transfer window, the forward was linked with potential moves to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and reports indicated he could have been included in a deal for Julian Alvarez. Despite the lack of regular minutes, Deeney anticipates that the player will feature for the club in the Champions League. Gyokeres joined the Gunners for his second season but has yet to establish a consistent starting role. The forward must now wait for opportunities to prove his contribution to the squad throughout the ongoing campaign.
