Gabriel Jesus’ next destination revealed as Arsenal exit looms

A club is lining up to sign Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus amid the Brazilian’s injury problems in north London.

Jesus signed for Arsenal from Man City in 2022, but his time at the Emirates has been marred by injuries, including numerous knee injuries.

Arsenal are open to offers for Jesus in January, with the 28-year-old expected to be behind Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz in the pecking order upon his return.

Mikel Arteta’s side have started the season in fine form, with Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over West Ham putting them at the top of the Premier League table one point clear of Liverpool.

Palmeiras president demands return of Gabriel Jesus

Football Insider exclusively revealed in August that Jesus plans to return to Brazil when his Arsenal career comes to an end.

According to The Metro (October 10), Palmeiras president Leila Pereira has publicly spoken out calling for the return of Jesus to the Brazilian club.

Gabriel Jesus, I will say more. Soon you’ll be home, Gabriel! One day you will come back” said Pereira.

Jesus began his career at Palmeiras before joining Man City in 2017.

Jesus will be eliminated from the middle of the Arsenal squad

Jesus is unlikely to play a role for Arsenal this season and with the attacking talent Arteta has at his disposal, the striker may not be missed.

Arsenal have so far coped with injuries to Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka thanks to the depth of their squad after a busy summer of transfer activity.

Jesus’ flexibility in the forward line can make him a useful player in the team, but he has not been able to prove his fitness throughout his career at the club.

A summer of big spending means Arsenal may have to sell a star name, and Jesus looks to be that player.
