"Gabriel Jesus is currently Arsenal's third-choice striker, and he will enter the final year of his contract this summer. The Brazil international has been an unused substitute in four of Arsenal's last five Premier League games, and that is likely to continue in the coming weeks. Jesus has claimed that he wants a new contract, but the best move for all parties would be a sale this summer."
"Gabriel Martinelli's numbers this season have been good. He has scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 18 starts, averaging a direct goal contribution every 116 minutes. That is a great return on paper, but the Brazilian's performances have been far from good in the Premier League, which is why he is the biggest candidate for sale."
"The Englishman is easily one of the best defenders in the Premier League when he is fully fit, but injuries have troubled him a lot over the last year. White is currently injured as well, and we think selling him for a good fee this summer would be the right thing to do."
Arsenal invested over £200 million on eight new signings in 2025 and needs to generate revenue through player sales to balance finances. While the club focuses on winning multiple trophies this season, the summer transfer window will see significant squad changes. According to reports, only one major sale is necessary. Five players are primary candidates for departure: Gabriel Jesus, currently third-choice striker entering the final contract year; Ben White, an elite defender hampered by recurring injuries; Gabriel Martinelli, whose inconsistent Premier League performances contrast with strong statistical output; Martin Odegaard; and others. These sales would allow Arsenal to maintain financial sustainability while potentially improving squad depth and performance.
