North London side Arsenal are said to be prepared to listen to offers for one of their Brazilian players who has seen a significant dip in form this season as we approach the end of the campaign.
Arsenal are already making plans for the upcoming transfer season and are looking at posible departures as well as possible arrivals. However, some big boys are expected to depart and one of them could be Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazilian forward has gone down the pecking order under the leadership of current manager Mikel Arteta who in his time has overseen the Gunners challenge Manchester City for the Premier League trophy for the second successive season.
The arrival of former Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea player Kai Harvertz has not helped his course this season as the German International overcame an early dip in form to be one of the teams main man, scoring and assisting in his last four Premier League games.
WHAT HAS NOW HAPPENED?
While the players will tell you that their concentration is only on the end of the season and what they could achieve by then, you will agree with me that it's not entirely true as speculations most times puts players out of shape, especially in their minds.
Jesus is not an exception as he has failed to hit any sort of form in recent times since his exit speculations has been ongoing. However, we have seen his good times and those times has been terrific.
His inconsistency and injury worries is the more reason The Gunners might be allowing the Brazilian go at the end of the season, despite him having a contract at the club until the summer of 2027. Jesus' future at Arsenal is far from certain and according to The Athletic, the club no longer sees him as a man worthy enough to lead their line next season and seasons to come, therefore are currently eyeing reinforcements in attack.
THE GOOD SIDE.
While we have not seen the best of Gabriel Jesus, Kai Harvertz has seen his form and style reshape the team's dynamics, propelling the team to what could be their highest finish in the league since the invincibles of 2004. While Harvertz has been exceptionally good, likewise can be said of Declan Rice and the centre-back pairing of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes. Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard has been quite unbelievable, and Trossard has gone from a bit part player to a starter. Some honourable mentions would include Jacob Kiwior, David Raya and Jorginho.
POTENTIAL EXIT AND SUITORS.
Speculations has it that about 3 to 4 Premier League clubs are already interested in signing Gabriel Jesus. The Athletic has reportedly revealed that Newcastle United are eyeing him as a potential replacement for Isak who could leave the club at the end of the current campaign.
Also, there are reports that the Brazilian could be willing to try the Spanish La Liga and would surely consider making a move overseas should a good offer be made for him.
OTHER POTENTIAL DEPARTURES.
According to reports, Arsenal might also be letting the likes of Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith-Rowe, Elneny and Nelson leave the club this summer.
