Arsenal have not engaged in any discussions regarding a swap deal for Viktor Gyokeres involving either Morgan Rogers or Julián Álvarez, according to FootballTransfers sources. Recent speculation suggesting the club were open to such offers has been dismissed as unfounded.
The rumours surfaced despite Gyokeres’ successful first season with the Gunners following his arrival last summer. Arsenal invested significantly in the Sweden international, anticipating his ability to deliver goals and a physical presence in attack, and he has reportedly met those expectations.
FootballTransfers understands there has been no dialogue between Arsenal and Aston Villa concerning a potential exchange of Rogers for Gyokeres. Similarly, Atletico Madrid have not been approached regarding a deal that would see Álvarez move to North London in exchange for the Swedish forward.
Arsenal’s recruitment team are continually evaluating potential squad additions, but there is currently no indication the club are considering parting ways with a striker signed just twelve months ago, particularly given his positive impact. Should Arsenal add to their attacking options, the club are expected to prioritise younger, developing forwards rather than pursuing another high-profile, expensive signing.
The Gunners have consistently demonstrated a commitment to long-term value in the transfer market, a philosophy that remains unchanged. Sources reiterate that no talks, negotiations, or swap proposals involving Gyokeres, Rogers, or Álvarez are currently underway. The idea that Arsenal would entertain offers for a recently acquired and successful striker is considered inaccurate.
