Transfer Round-up: Arsenal put Gyokeres up for sale at £55m as Chelsea eye Brighton starlet

Arsenal set £55m asking price for Viktor Gyokeres

Arsenal have officially slapped a £55 million price tag on Viktor Gyokeres to recoup their outlay after the 28-year-old Swedish striker lost his starting spot to Kai Havertz. Despite netting 21 goals in 55 appearances last term, Gyokeres has registered just 80 minutes of Premier League action this season. Any potential departure will only be sanctioned in January 2027 if the Gunners can secure a suitable replacement, such as Gustavo Varela or 22-year-old Nicolo Tresoldi.

Chelsea set to battle Galatasaray for Yasin Ayari

Chelsea have officially entered the race for 23-year-old midfielder Yasin Ayari after contract extension talks between the player and Brighton collapsed over wage demands. Sporting director Paul Winstanley, who originally brought Ayari to the Amex, is the driving force behind the Blues' pursuit. The Swedish international, who has registered two assists in six Premier League appearances this term, is currently contracted until 2027, with Brighton holding a 12-month extension option.
