Jäkelis confirms his future with Arsenal

Swedish forward Viktor Gyökeres has expressed his desire to remain with Arsenal, despite the uncertainty that has recently arisen regarding his future with the team, due to his limited first-team appearances during the current season of the Premier League, as he has started only one match in the starting lineup.

Jéquieres, in statements to the Swedish channels "Fotbollskanalen" and "TV4", said: "I want to stay! I feel good when I play. We have won most of the matches. The defeat against Fleetwood Town in the cup was tough, but apart from that, things have been positive for me and the team. I have performed well in the recent matches I participated in, and I feel good at the moment."

The Swedish striker spoke about his relationship with his Spanish coach Mikel Arteta, confirming that their communication is going well, saying: "The communication with Arteta is good. We talk about football and the way we should play. Before the match, when I am in the starting lineup, we talk about the opponents and the things I should focus on."

Jaqueires has not shown much interest in the criticism and speculation regarding his lack of appearances, especially the opinions suggesting he should feel insulted by Arteta's decisions, or those questioning the Spanish coach's trust in him during big matches.

"Sometimes it can affect me, but generally it doesn't happen that much. If I score goals and provide assists in the UEFA Champions League, I don't care what they say. It's good to deliver such levels and achieve a good return for me and the team. That's what I focus on."

Arsenal forward concluded by emphasizing his understanding of the media uproar surrounding his appearances, explaining that his limited presence in the starting lineup and discussions about his future are matters that attract headlines and capture the fans' attention, but he prefers to focus on his performance on the pitch.
