Arsenal could be braced for exits before the transfer window closes and it’s emerged that one of their stars has been offering himself to Barcelona every day.<\/p>\n
After winning a first Premier League title since 2004, the Gunners have been active in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their squad.<\/p>\n
Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis have been brought in for a combined total at \u00a3120 million, while Piero Hincapie’s loan move from Bayer Leverkusen has been made permanent.<\/p>\n
Arsenal have also wrapped up a \u00a350 million deal for Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, adding another defensive option.<\/p>\n
Departures will be necessary, with Gabriel Martinelli, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Martin Zubimendi some of the stars linked with moving on.<\/p>\n
However, it’s emerged that striker Viktor Gyokeres has been offering himself to Barcelona on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
The Swede only signed for Arsenal last summer, joining from Sporting CP in a \u00a355 million deal as the North London giants finally brought in a new striker.<\/p>\n
The former Coventry striker scored 21 goals in his debut campaign but did find himself playing second-fiddle to Kai Havertz for the latter stages of the season – particularly in big games.<\/p>\n
Havertz got the nod in the Community Shield win over Manchester City last weekend and appears to be first choice for Mikel Arteta.<\/p>\n
With Gyokeres potentially the back-up striker, journalist Victor Navarro claims that he could potentially join Barcelona as he is very much open to the switch.<\/p>\n
The La Liga champions are desperate for a new No.9 after Robert Lewandowski left on a free transfer and Spain’s World Cup hero Ferran Torres signed for Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n
Julian Alvarez appeared to be their top target but Atletico Madrid are adamant he is not for sale and will not change their stance.<\/p>\n
They also like his Argentina teammate and Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez and Sporting striker Luis Suarez, as well as Nicolo Tresoldi of Club Brugge.<\/p>\n
However, Gyokeres could be a more attainable option.<\/p>\n
