Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has publicly declared that he wants to stay at the club and fight for his future under Mikel Arteta, dismissing rumours linking him with a move away from the Emirates.
The Brazil international made his feelings clear in a recent interview, saying he has “unfinished business” at Arsenal and does not want to leave the club he joined with the aim of winning major trophies.
Jesus’s comments come amid growing speculation around his role and future, especially following his long-term injury and the arrival of new attacking options.
Although some reports suggested he could be a candidate for departure in the January transfer window, the forward chose to address the speculation head-on rather than let rumours cloud his intentions.
“I feel that I have unfinished business at Arsenal. I don’t want to leave,” Jesus said on The Players’ Tribune, emphasising that his move to north London was about ambition, not comfort.
He reiterated that his goal is to help Arsenal “wake up the sleeping giant” and return to sustained success, comparing the club’s current trajectory with the transformation he was part of at Palmeiras earlier in his career.
Jesus’s remarks underline his belief in the project at Arsenal, where he points to the strength of the squad, the standards set by Arteta, and the club-wide focus on consistency and daily effort as the foundation for success.
He stressed that belief and consistency could soon turn Arsenal’s strong position in the Premier League into real silverware.
Arsenal currently sit at the top of the Premier League table, though recent form has dipped slightly after a strong start to the season.
The Gunners are balancing domestic and European commitments, and Arteta appears determined to integrate Jesus back into a competitive squad fully.
Jesus’s future now seems firmly planted at the Emirates at least for the immediate term as he continues his recovery and pushes to make a meaningful impact on the pitch.
