Arsenal are open to negotiating Gabriel Jesus, says website | english football

The repeated injuries and the good form of their competitors in attack could make Arsenal consider offers for Gabriel Jesus. That’s what the British website says The Athleticwhich highlights the change in the Brazilian striker’s status in the current season at the club: from absolute starter to a good option for sale in the next window.

To the ge, people close to the striker emphasize that there is no proposal and there has been no signal from Arsenal indicating a transfer. The former Manchester City player has a contract until 2027 with Mikel Arteta’s team and intends to remain with the team.

Jesus, 27 years old, arrived at Arsenal in mid-2022, signed for 52 million euros (R$289 million, at the price at the time). He got off to a great start but never regained his rhythm since his knee injury at the World Cup later that year.

Gabriel Jesus has four goals in 24 games in the current Premier League, 17 of which were as a starter. Havertz scored 12 goals in 34 league appearances, 27 of which came as a starter. The German’s good form made Arteta use the Brazilian where the player doesn’t prefer: as a winger. But the former Palmeiras player reiterated that he just wants to play.

– I don’t want to come here and say that Gabi doesn’t mind playing as a winger when his position is normally nine. This part of the season, you don’t complain. I never complain. I just want to work. In this part of the season, I will put my ego aside and just help in the best way and do whatever the coach wants to help the team in the best way – said Jesus, in a press conference on April 8th.

In Expresso da Bola, Gabriel Jesus reveals: “I was very loose”

Coach Mikel Arteta never tires of praising the Brazilian when he gets the chance. The signing of the striker was a request from the coach. However, Gabriel’s physical difficulties prevent a sequel.

According to the The Athletic, Arsenal’s sporting director, Edu, was in Saudi Arabia to analyze possible market opportunities for selling some athletes. The portal, however, reiterates that Gabriel Jesus still has room for a possible sale in Europe.

In 2023/24, Gabriel has eight goals and seven assists in 33 games across all competitions, averaging 57 minutes played per match. Leader of the Premier League, Arsenal played 49 games this season.
