"but with Jesus now back to playing after recovering from a long-term injury, Arteta would be loath to see him leave, as the North London club aim to win the Premier League title this season. The Athletic reports: 'Earlier in 2025, Arsenal were open to the possibility of Gabriel Jesus leaving in January. 'As the window has approached, however, Jesus has returned to fitness and reasserted himself as an important figure in Arteta's squad."
"'The manager would be loath to let the Brazilian leave now as he is needed in north London. 'When the time does come, moving Jesus on may not be straightforward: the player does not have an EU passport, which limits his options, and is one of the club's higher earners. 'It is likely that Arsenal will exercise caution. At the season's halfway point, Arteta will be acutely aware that allowing a player to leave now could potentially come back to bite him during the run-in.'"
Arsenal considered the possibility of selling Gabriel Jesus in January but reconsidered after his return to fitness. Jesus recovered from a long-term injury and has resumed playing, reasserting himself as an important squad member. Mikel Arteta would be loath to let Jesus leave now because he is needed for the club's Premier League title challenge. Moving Jesus on could be complicated by the player's lack of an EU passport and his status as one of the club's higher earners. Arsenal are likely to exercise caution at the season's halfway point to avoid weakening the squad during the run-in.
