Arsenal need to act fast if they are to find a solution to Gabriel Jesus’ long-term injury and maintain their Premier League title hopes.
The £45million summer signing has been ruled out for three months after picking up a knee injury whilst on World Cup duty with Brazil. This leaves Eddie Nketiah as the club’s only other natural striker and the Gunners weighing up their options ahead of the January transfer window.
However, there could already be a quick fix for Mikel Arteta in north London, with the chance to immediately accelerate a long-term plan for one of the club’s star assets. This could save a large sum of money which would otherwise be spent on a short-term fix next month.
