Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly unhappy at Arsenal due to limited playing time, leading to speculation about a potential move to Everton. The 28-year-old forward, who joined Arsenal from Sporting CP for €65.8 million last year, has faced challenges securing a regular starting role. With Kai Havertz regaining form after injuries, Gyokeres has played only seven matches this season, failing to score and not yet starting in the Premier League.

SciSports suggests that Everton could be an appealing destination for Gyokeres, citing a strong fit between the player's needs and the club's playing style. Everton's squad, under manager David Moyes, is in need of a reliable striker, with Thierno Barry currently the only natural center-forward, who has had inconsistent performances.
Gyokeres is viewed as a more established option who could immediately enhance Everton's attacking options. However, any potential deal would face financial hurdles; Gyokeres has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €69.2 million, and Arsenal may want to recover as much of their initial investment as possible. Additionally, Everton's record signing remains Gylfi Sigurdsson at €49.4 million, and the club would need to consider if they could stretch their budget to accommodate the required fee for Gyokeres, especially after attempting to secure Folarin Balogun in the summer for €47.5 million before his failed medical.
