Gabriel Jesus must leave Arsenal this summer to revive stalling career Arsenal claimed a 2-0 win over Everton to go nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table with only a handful of games to go, but Gabriel Jesus was an unused substitute on the bench. The Brazilian has fallen down the pecking order following the arrival of Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres, with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta using him as a rotation option these days. Jesus has been an excellent servant to the club since joining in 2022, bagging 31 goals and 22 assists in 116 appearances.

However, injuries have plagued his recent seasons. He made his comeback in December after suffering a serious cruciate ligament injury last year, and his involvement has been limited. He has made 20 appearances this season, recording five goals and two assists.

Spending extended periods on the sidelines, along with limited playing time, has made it hard for him to build momentum. To make matters more complicated, the 28-year-old is entering the final year of his contract at the Emirates Stadium, which runs out in 2027. Jesus now faces a dilemma.

Does he stay and fight for a place at Arsenal, hoping the club cashes in on Havertz instead, or does he leave for playing time elsewhere? Transfer interest in Jesus During the winter transfer window, two Premier League clubs registered interest in Jesus, lining up to take him on loan. West Ham United needed a replacement for Niclas Fullkrug, an injection of pace and quality up top.

They had their eyes on the Arsenal ace before eventually signing Taty Catellanos. Everton also admired the player and wanted to bring him to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to provide competition for their misfiring duo, Beto and Thierno Barry. Unfortunately, Arteta declared that Jesus would stay, effectively ending any pursuit of his signature.
