Al-Ahli targets Gabriel Jesus amidst Arsenal’s attacking shuffle
Gabriel Jesus has found himself in the crosshairs of Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli as he grapples with increasing competition for playing time at Arsenal.
The Brazilian forward, who has been a pivotal figure at the Emirates, now faces a challenge from Kai Havertz, Arsenal’s new attacking favourite.
Since joining Arsenal, Havertz has quickly earned the trust of Mikel Arteta, often edging Jesus out of the starting lineup. The German’s impressive form and versatility have made him a key player for the Gunners, causing a rethink in Arteta’s attacking strategy.
This shift, coupled with Jesus’s injury woes and fluctuating form, has left the Brazilian star struggling for minutes.
Al-Ahli, seizing the opportunity, has shown strong interest in bringing Jesus to the Saudi Pro League.
Reports from The Sun indicate that the Saudi outfit is also considering a move for Tottenham’s Richarlison, but Jesus seems to be a primary target.
Despite Jesus’s significant contributions to Arsenal, the club may not block his exit if the Brazilian expresses a desire to move.
Arsenal is actively seeking a new striker this summer, and selling Jesus could free up funds for fresh acquisitions. This potential transfer aligns with the Gunners’ need to balance their squad and finances.
Jesus’s future at Arsenal now hangs in the balance. While he remains a valued player, the lure of a new challenge and guaranteed playing time at Al-Ahli might be too tempting to resist. Arsenal fans and the football world will keenly watch this developing saga.
