Arsenal make decision on Gabriel Jesus

Coach Mikel Arteta blocked any possibility of transferring Gabriel Jesus in the January transfer window, despite interest from West Ham, Everton and two Brazilian clubs, Flamengo and Palmeiras.

Arsenal do not agree to let Jesus leave in the winter transfer window.

The decision comes amid growing concerns over the fitness of striker duo Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz. The two pillars are injured, leaving Arsenal facing a serious shortage of personnel in the front line.

Notably, Jesus officially returned to training on November 7 at London Colney. This was the first time in 10 months that Jesus completed a full training session with the first team.

Jesus suffered a knee ligament injury in the FA Cup defeat to Manchester United on January 14, requiring surgery and ruling him out for 10 months. The samba star therefore faces an uncertain future at Arsenal.

Since joining the Gunners from Man City in 2022, the Brazilian striker has often suffered from poor form and injuries. Jesus' contract with Arsenal runs until June 2027. Therefore, the Gunners have considered selling the player early to avoid being in a passive state next summer.

However, a return at this time could save Jesus' career at Arsenal. At that time, coach Arteta will have more options for the attack in the decisive stage of the championship race.

Keeping Jesus under Arteta's belt shows that squad depth will determine the title. Arsenal do not want to weaken themselves mid-season. If Jesus regains his form, he could be a secret weapon in the busy Christmas schedule.
