Arsenal’s leadership is said to be ready to listen to offers for key striker Gabriel Jesus, after Kai Havertz’s excellent performance recently.

The Brazilian striker moved to Arsenal for a fee of 45 million pounds in 2022, after winning the Premier League championship 4 times in 5 years at Man City. Jesus scored 3 goals and made 3 assists in his first 5 outings for the Gunners before being plagued by injury.

Jesus suffered a knee injury while playing for Brazil at the 2022 World Cup and had to sit out for 3 months. This season, the 27-year-old striker only missed 6 matches due to injury, but his playing time is still limited due to Havertz’s impressive form.

The German striker moved to Emirates Stadium as an attacking midfielder from Chelsea in the summer of 2023. Despite an unstable start, the 24-year-old player has gradually asserted his position and responded to the coach’s trust. Mikel Arteta gave himself a sublime form.

Havertz has scored 12 goals and provided 6 assists in the Premier League compared to Jesus’ 4 goals and 4 assists for Arsenal. That is the reason why the former Man City player is no longer the number one choice for Arsenal’s attack, the team is also planning to recruit another high-class striker.

Haverz’s impressive form makes Arsenal ready to sell Jesus

According to The Athletic, Arsenal is ready to listen to offers for Jesus. Although the 27-year-old player’s contract with the Emirates Stadium team has 3 years left, close sources revealed that the Gunners’ board of directors accepts the sale of the Brazilian star if there is a suitable offer.

At this time, Jesus is still trying to find a starting position at Arsenal, but the Brazilian star revealed that he is still having problems with his knee and may need surgery at the end of the season.

“Even at Arsenal, there are things you have to stick to: train, play, train today, don’t train, just play. In short, it’s difficult, but my wish is always to be on the field for both Arsenal and the national team. It wouldn’t have mattered if at the end of the season I had to injure my knee and get treatment for what was getting in the way and ended up missing out on the opportunity to play in the Copa America I’m trying to regain my fitness and help Arsenal as much as possible,” Jesus said.
