On September 8 (CEST), renowned British broadcaster Piers Morgan revealed on his show "Sports Uncensored" that Gyökeres feels "abandoned" at Arsenal and has even been told by the club to leave during this summer's transfer window.

The Swedish international striker joined Arsenal in summer 2024 for a transfer fee of £64 million. He made his season debut as a substitute in Arsenal's dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Chelsea on Sunday. In Arsenal's two previous matches, Gyökeres hadn't been given a single minute of playing time. Morgan bluntly claimed the club's actions are designed to facilitate his departure, deliberately "keeping him on the bench."

During this summer's transfer window, Arsenal showed strong interest in signing Atlético Madrid forward Álvarez, with reports suggesting the club's hierarchy considered a player exchange deal involving Gyökeres. Morgan claimed he learned from "reliable sources" that to secure a deal with Atlético Madrid for Álvarez's transfer, Arsenal seriously considered letting Gyökeres leave.

However, Álvarez himself expressed doubts about returning to the Premier League and was determined to join Barcelona, Atlético Madrid's La Liga rivals. Atlético Madrid quickly rejected the exchange deal. Ultimately, the World Cup-winning Argentine chose to stay at Atlético Madrid, while Gyökeres continues to play at the Emirates, though his future remains uncertain and his playing time in the new season could be severely limited.

Piers Morgan revealed on "Sports Uncensored": "Since the new season began, Gyökeres has barely seen any pitch time. I've learned from extremely reliable inside sources that the club deliberately kept him on the bench."

"Arsenal initially planned to use him as a makeweight in a deal for Álvarez, but ultimately the deal fell through. The information I received suggests Gyökeres is extremely unhappy with the unfair treatment he's receiving and feels abandoned."

"In my view, it's hard to deny this, but it also reflects manager Arteta's decisive and stern coaching style, and many Arsenal fans are actually pleased to see the manager take this approach."

"I've heard that Arsenal are fully prepared to re-enter the transfer market during January's winter window to bring in a new striker. When the January transfer window opens, they will look to sign a striker."

Additionally, Piers Morgan mentioned that he was present in May when Arsenal lifted the Premier League trophy, and he revealed that the Gunners previously "believed" they were close to signing Real Madrid's star Vinícius Jr. Arteta was initially very interested in this blockbuster deal, but Vinícius ultimately chose to extend his contract with Real Madrid.

Piers Morgan added: "From what I understand, Arsenal believed they had successfully signed Vinícius, and if he had joined, he could have been very helpful to the team."

"What I know for certain is Arsenal believed they had secured him until the day before he signed his new contract at Real Madrid."

Last Sunday, Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates, maintaining their perfect start to the Premier League season.
