Why Gabriel Jesus is unlikely to leave Arsenal this summer

Gabriel Jesus has been linked with a possible move away from Arsenal this summer, as speculation around his future grows during his ongoing recovery from a long-term injury. The Brazilian forward remains a notable figure in the squad, but his role is now under greater scrutiny following recent developments at the club.

Arsenal’s acquisition of Viktor Gyokeres has shifted the dynamic in the attacking department. Jesus, who arrived from Manchester City with high expectations, has not consistently delivered the level of goal-scoring the club had hoped for. This inconsistency, coupled with his recent injury issues, has opened the door for increased competition in the striker position.

Increased Competition and Uncertain Prospects

Jesus already faced pressure from Kai Havertz during the previous campaign, and with Gyokeres now in the fold, the path to regular minutes looks increasingly challenging. As Arsenal continue to reshape their squad, the possibility of offloading players who no longer fit the evolving strategy has become more realistic.

There have been rumours of interest from other clubs, yet uncertainty remains regarding whether a move will materialise in this window. As cited by Sport Witness, one source suggests that while discussions exist, the primary reason nothing has progressed is simply his injury status.

“No club wants a player on his way back from a long-term injury,” the report notes, underlining the difficulty in generating genuine interest for a player who is not yet fully fit.

January Exit Could Be More Likely

Given the current situation, an immediate transfer seems unlikely. Jesus is still recovering and has yet to return to full training, which makes it difficult for any potential suitor to commit to a deal at this stage. Arsenal, while open to offers, may need to wait until the January transfer window when clubs could be more willing to consider a move if he has regained form and fitness.

Looking ahead, much will depend on how quickly Jesus recovers and whether Gyokeres can meet expectations early in the season. If the new signing establishes himself as the preferred option, it may only be a matter of time before Jesus considers a new chapter elsewhere.
