Barcelona reportedly considering late loan move for Arsenal Striker

Barcelona is reportedly exploring a potential loan move for Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres, according to a new claim. The Catalan giants are said to be studying a possible loan deal for the Swedish forward, who could join them for the remainder of the season. Barcelona's sporting director Deco is said to be considering the option, with the club prepared to pay Arsenal a loan fee and cover Gyokeres' salary.

Barcelona is reportedly considering an €60 million option to buy the player at the end of the loan period. The report claims that Arsenal would only agree to a move if Mikel Arteta approved the departure and a suitable replacement was secured. Gyokeres has not featured for Arsenal in recent matches, raising questions about his position at the club.

Arsenal's interest in potential replacements could complicate any move for Gyokeres, but the speculation surrounding his future continues as deadline day approaches.
