Gabriel Jesus injury leaves Arsenal with £90m-plus January transfer window reality amid title talk

Panic. It is as simple as a word to describe the feeling after Gabriel Jesus suffered an injury at the World Cup to realise one of the potential nightmare scenarios coming to life.

The Brazilian underwent successful knee surgery but football.london understands it is too soon to put any return date on the striker. Some reports suggest that an injury of his type can leave players out for something like three months meaning Arsenal would be without him for games against Tottenham, Manchester United and, importantly, Manchester City.

With the January transfer window on the horizon, the club seemingly had plans to strengthen in midfield and the wide areas. These are positions that are light in quality and there are significant gaps between the starters and depth options available right now.
