In order to raise more money for new attacking players, former England striker Darren Bent has recommended that Arsenal trade Gabriel Jesus during the upcoming transfer window. Following his £45 million move from Manchester City in 2022, the Brazilian forward has not lived up to expectations. He has been sidelined since January due to a major knee injury and has regularly suffered with fitness concerns.
Jesus only managed to score seven goals and dish out two assists in 27 games this season, with two years left on his contract. The injuries to Jesus and Kai Havertz have made it clear that the Gunners are searching the market for a fresh, elite striker in light of their squad depth issues.
Arsenal has been connected to players like Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting CP, Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig, and Alexander Isak of Newcastle. A busy summer is anticipated, as manager Mikel Arteta has said that he is eager to bolster the team’s front line.
Mikel Arteta told who must be sold
According to former Premier League striker Darren Bent, Arsenal should sell Gabriel Jesus to cash in on their chips. During the summer transfer window, Arsenal is looking to add a striker, and Bent believes Jesus should be the first to pay.
“Gabriel Jesus,” he remarked on showSPORT. He must depart. Gabriel Jesus will likely be the first to leave, in my opinion. For it is Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli that come to mind when I think of the left side.
Trossard is a good option off the bench, but he plays too many minutes to be a starter. On the left are Martinelli and Trossard. Right now, you have Gabriel Jesus and Havertz at center-forward. You can leave, Gabriel Jesus. You have [Ethan] Nwaneri and [Bukayo] Saka on the right. I believe that center-forward play is what has to be examined.
In January, Arsenal was among the few Premier League teams that made no acquisitions. “It’s going to be a big one and we are very excited about it,” Arteta told reporters, indicating that he expects the Gunners to take a different strategy in the summer.
