Arsenal have been urged to turn down a move for Cristiano Ronaldo in favour of signing a striker from a Premier League rival in January. It comes after star summer signing Gabriel Jesus underwent surgery for a knee injury he suffered during the World Cup group stages with Brazil.
It doesn't come as good news to the Gunners, who appear to be without the 25-year-old for what could be up to three months of action. "If there was a timeline and I could see you and tell you something, I would say 'Gabriel, you are a winner'," the striker said when breaking his silence on Instagram, accompanied with a childhood photo. "Thanks to all who sent messages of support and love!”
The importance of the Brazilian cannot be understated for Mikel Arteta, with his ideal style of play moving closer to the end goal with his addition to the squad. With January around the corner, the opening of the transfer market could change their plans when it comes to incoming players.
