Mikel Arteta reportedly has no plans of letting Gabriel Jesus go in upcoming transfer window

Arsenal Football Club has made it clear that they have no intention of parting ways with Brazilian striker, Gabriel Jesus, despite his recent struggles. Manager Mikel Arteta is standing firm in his belief that the player will regain his form and contribute significantly to the team's success.

According to reports from reports, Arsenal is not interested in selling Gabriel Jesus anytime soon. Mikel Arteta continues to place unwavering faith in the attacker, believing he will overcome his current challenges. Despite a dip in form due to injury troubles, Arteta considers him an integral part of the current squad.

Jesus' journey at Arsenal has been marked by periods of building form and sharpness interrupted by injuries requiring him to start afresh. This pattern began after his transfer from Manchester City two years ago for £45 million.

A rocky start at Arsenal

Upon joining Arsenal, Jesus had an impressive start under Mikel Arteta until a knee problem picked up in the World Cup match disrupted his season. His performance last season was inconsistent as he was frequently sidelined due to injuries or poor form. This season has followed a similar trajectory with him yet failing to score or assist in seven games across all competitions.

The fans' dissatisfaction with these performances sparked speculation about Jesus' future at the club. Rumours circulated about potential departures during summer when other strikers were linked with Arsenal and Saudi teams expressed interest in acquiring him.

Despite these setbacks, there is still much that Gabriel can offer as he works towards regaining top form following another injury just before this campaign started. In response to exit rumours circulating around him recently - including failed bids from former side Palmeiras ahead of 2025 Club World Cup - it appears that both player and club are committed to his future at Arsenal.

No plans for a sale

Gunners have made it clear that they did not want to sell Jesus in the summer and plan on maintaining this stance ahead of the January window. The £45 million signing has Arteta's full confidence, who is convinced that the Brazilian will bounce back from his recent setback.

Arteta is also keen on preserving squad harmony as Arsenal prepares for another season challenging for honours across all fronts. Gabriel Jesus remains a significant figure within the squad, and selling him could potentially disrupt team dynamics. The consensus within the club is that they are better off retaining him rather than letting him go, with hopes high that he will soon reclaim his place in the starting lineup.
