Arsenal could learn the fate of Gabriel Jesus' knee injury today (Tuesday) meaning technical director Edu can begin to implement his transfer plan ahead of the January transfer window. The Gunners may be forced to dip into the transfer market for a new striker should the severity of the Brazilian's injury present a much worse problem than feared.
football.london understands that the Arsenal forward will miss the remainder of the World Cup through injury after starting his first World Cup game against Cameroon. Jesus was set to meet with a knee specialist upon his arrival in London and there could be further cause for concern should Mikel Arteta's No. 9 be out for an extended period of time.
The Gunners only have Eddie Nketiah available as their other striker option and although the Englishman is capable of leading the line, the club may look to sign a more experienced forward, despite the Hale Ender scoring five goals in seven games towards the end of last season before extending his contract at the Emirates Stadium.
