Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed his intention to support current striker Gabriel Jesus, even as the club considers several attacking options.
The Brazilian striker has has been linked with the move to Palm trees but referring to the report, Arteta said: “Reports about Gabriel Jesus leaving and going to Brazil in January is nonsense. Like all attackers, they go through phases and moments. His attitude was really good. It’s always like that. We will support him as much as we can.”
However, reports that several forward options were being considered, some as early as January, somewhat undermine Arteta’s confidence, she said the fourth best manager in the world right now FourFourTwo — has in his attack options.
Arsenal has been linked with, among others, Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic
AND report from TEAMtalk he revealed it Gunners they asked about the availability of a long-term goal Dusan Vlahovic With Juventuswith the intention of concluding a deal potentially as early as January.

The boss of the north London club has behaved similarly before, acting routinely as if David Rayathe takeover was not an indictment Aaron Ramsdalebefore sending the latter on one of the first occasions.
Arteta’s words in support of Jesus may be strong, but Arsenal’s reports of moves in the transfer market say otherwise.

When Jesus first arrived in 2022/23 he looked promising, scoring 11 goalsbut he achieved less than half that last season and has only featured in two Premier League games this campaign.
Still only 27 years old, he shows all the signs of a player who needs a move to restart his career.
