Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly are among the players who Arsenal fans are the most excited to see this season, considering their talent at such an early age.

However, both players say one of Arsenal’s more established players is the one who dazzles his teammates in training.

Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly say Gabriel Jesus is Arsenal’s most skilful player

When Gabriel Jesus is expected back in action for Arsenal

Jesus has sadly been out of action since the start of 2025, when he picked up a serious knee injury in the FA Cup third round defeat to Manchester United.

However, the £45million man posted a very positive update earlier in August, in which he shared a video of himself training on the grass for the first time in months.

The caption read: “It’s been seven months of pain, uncertainty, and anxiety. Today, I finally feel light – like a child playing football again. GOD IS GREAT.”

As per football.london, a return date of October has previously been mooted for Jesus.

There have been reports claiming Andrea Berta was looking to sell Jesus this summer, but it’s unlikely that a move could be completed until he’s back to full fitness.
