Gabriel Jesus completed a surprise £45million transfer to Arsenal in the summer, leaving reigning Premier League champions Manchester City. The Brazilian striker reunited with Mikel Arteta at the Emirates Stadium following the arrival of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez at the Etihad Stadium.
Jesus' goal-scoring form dropped off ahead of the World Cup break but he has still enjoyed a strong first half of the season, scoring five goals and providing a further seven assists for the Gunners. The 25-year-old is now recovering from a knee injury which he suffered whilst playing for Brazil at the World Cup in Qatar and is likely to return in February next year.
Jesus won four Premier League titles, the FA Cup and three Carabao Cups during his five-year spell with City before making the move to Arsenal. The Brazilian striker has been influential in helping the Gunners challenge his former side at the top of the table this season and Arsenal may need to dip into the transfer market to find a short-term solution during his absence.
