Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has insisted the club will make a decision on their January transfer plans when they become aware of Gabriel Jesus' timescale out of action. The Gunners confirmed earlier this week that Jesus had undergone surgery on a knee issue picked up at the World Cup with Brazil.
Jesus ' presence at the Emirates Stadium upon the return of the Premier League season will be majorly missed after he became a key member of Mikel Arteta's squad. The Brazilian has scored five goals and grabbed another six assists to help lead the club to the top of the table at Christmas for the first time since 2007.
The Gunners returned to action for the first time in three weeks earlier today with a 3-0 win over French side Lyon in Dubai. First-half goals from Gabriel, Eddie Nketiah and Fabio Vieira sent Arteta's side on their way before being victorious again in the penalty shoot-out for a bonus point.
