Arsenal could be set to let several high-profile players leave this summer as they aim to revamp the squad.
Emile Smith Rowe is already the subject of interest from Fulham and Crystal Palace, whilst Jakub Kiwior could also return to Serie A.
Gabriel Jesus endured a difficult second season at Arsenal which saw him miss significant chunks through injury, whilst he lost his starting place as a striker to Kai Havertz.
Jesus was sensational when he first arrived from Manchester City two years ago, but he has struggled with a knee injury since the World Cup last year, and there is now a chance that he makes a shock departure from Arsenal.
Gabriel Jesus is available for Arsenal exit this summer
The Times have now reported that Jesus, who joined Arsenal for £45m in 2022, could be allowed to leave this summer along with Thomas Partey.
“Partey wants to see out the final year of his contract and it might not be easy to sell him or even Gabriel Jesus, the forward, who is also available,” a report stated.
Whilst Partey could be allowed to leave because of his age and injury issues, Mikel Arteta should offer more time for Jesus to find his best form again.
Arsenal should resist Gabriel Jesus sale this summer
Unless a huge offer comes in, Arsenal should keep Jesus this summer. The 27-year-old will have a full pre-season to find his best form and build up a run of fitness, and if they can get him fully firing, he will be a huge asset for Arteta.
Jesus did struggle last season, but he also showed his pedigree in the Champions League, with a classy assist in an excellent performance against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the quarter-final.
At his best, Jesus is one of the best playmaking forwards in the league, and he can play anywhere across the front three. He deserves one more season to try and get back to his best level, and he will not be easily replaced given his experience, ability and versatility.
