Arsenal are considering selling Gabriel Jesus in January, with the striker expected to attract plenty of interest in the winter window, according to a report.

Bruno Andrade reports for Brazilian outlet UOL that Gabriel Jesus will attract plenty of attention in the January transfer window, due to his current fringe role with the Arsenal first team.
Andrade claims the Gunners are considering selling the forward to open up a squad spot and free up funds to sign a replacement.
One potential complication is that Jesus doesn’t currently have an agent. His two former agents are in a legal conflict, and both lost the player as a result.

Andrade reports that Palmeiras have given one of the two agents the go-ahead to mediate the signing of Jesus, if that’s in the best interest of all parties.
But Rafael Reis reported for UOL last week that Palmeiras fear Jesus isn’t a realistic signing for them, and that he’s more likely to make a move within Europe.
Even so, the Palmeiras hierarchy believe he will eventually return to the club, and that the player wants to do so. Just not yet.

For the time being, Jesus has another month of football before the January window even opens, with Arsenal scheduled to play seven times in December.
The 27-year-old has one goal and one assist in his 17 appearances (six starts) so far this season.
