According to recent reports, Brazilian club Palmeiras has expressed interest in signing Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus. The club allegedly reached out to the Gunners, but their offer was swiftly rejected as Arsenal has no intention of letting go of the 27-year-old. Jesus, who is currently under contract until 2027, joined Arsenal in 2022 from Manchester City for a whopping £45 million. He had previously played in Palmeiras' youth academy and first team from 2013 to 2017.
Despite his impressive track record, Jesus has only played 19 minutes of Premier League football this season due to a groin injury. This has given his spot on the starting XI to newcomer Kai Havertz. However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has shown his support for Jesus, stating that he has the potential to make a big impact just like Havertz did last year. He also emphasized the importance of mental toughness and the support of one's teammates in achieving success.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright also believes that this is a crucial season for Jesus, urging him to step up and bring more to the team. Meanwhile, fellow pundit and former Gunners player William Gallas has suggested that Arsenal may need to find a new striker if Jesus is unable to perform due to his injury. He even mentioned Brighton's Joao Pedro as a potential option for next season.
However, Gallas believes that it may be too late to find a suitable replacement in the January transfer window. He also stressed that Arsenal needs to win the title this year and cannot afford to wait for a new striker to settle in during the winter. But despite these speculations, Jesus remains determined to prove himself and earn his spot back in the starting lineup.
In the midst of all this, Arsenal fans can rest assured that the club has no plans of letting go of Jesus. He may have faced some setbacks this season, but his talent and potential are undeniable. And with the support of his manager and teammates, he is determined to bounce back and make a big impact for Arsenal. As for Palmeiras, it seems like they will have to look elsewhere for their next signing.
