Gabriel Jesus is enjoying life back on the pitch after missing 11 months through injury and is confident there is belief within the camp to achieve our aims this season.
Gabi feared the worst after suffering a serious knee injury last January in our FA Cup clash against Manchester United. He returned to action in December, netting his first goal in a 4-1 win over Aston Villa.
The Brazilian now has 11 appearances to his name this season and when asked about his aims for the remainder of 2025/26, staying fit is his number one priority.
He said: "I think my first target is to be healthy, from now till the end of the season.. You know, this is my fourth season at Arsenal, and, unfortunately, I played maybe one-and-a-half, two and then the rest with injuries.
"I'm so glad that since I came back, I have had a lot of minutes. So I think we are building something good for me, for my knee, for my whole body. So, I'm in a good way to help the team."
We currently sit top of the Premier League and the Champions League league phase as we head to take on Inter at the San Siro, looking to ensure we finish as high as possible before the knockout stages.

Gabi has come close to winning trophies since arriving in north London, but the Brazilian is confident there is a belief and focus to go all the way in 25/26.
"I think every single player in every team, every club, every supporter, they believe their team can win the Champions League title. We believe. We have to believe. Otherwise, why are we here? So, we believe. But obviously, we know that there's still a long way to go.
"In football, you have to play each game like a fighter and that's what we are doing. We are trying to play each game to win and then, at the end of the season, we see where we are and I think, once again, we are in a brilliant place."
We faced Inter in last season's UCL league phase, losing 1-0 courtesy of a Hakan Calhanoglu penalty, something Gabi remembers well and highlights the standards within the Champions League.
He said: "I think we are in good shape, in a good position that gives us some belief, some confidence to go and then try to win games. Inter is a tough game. We came here last year and we saw how tough it is to play against them.
"They have an amazing team, amazing players. So, it's hard to say who is the best [team in Europe] because sometimes you can treat yourself as the best team and then you go to another team and don't win. So, it's hard."
