Arsenal attacker Gabriel Jesus has been linked with a move away from the North London club heading into the summer transfer window.
Gabriel Jesus is prepared to renew his contract with Arsenal despite the links with other clubs. According to SportsCenter Brazil, the 28-year-old striker would be prepared to stay at the North London club. He has a contract with them until 2027, and there have been rumours that he could move on in the summer.
He has missed most of the season due to injury and has played just over 300 minutes in the Premier League, scoring twice. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal is prepared to keep him at the club.
There is no doubt that they need more depth in the attacking unit. Even though they invested in Viktor Gyokores, he has not been a prolific goal scorer for Arsenal. Jesus could be a very useful option for them going forward. His ability to slot into multiple attacking roles and perform at a high level makes him an asset for the club. The Brazilian is more than just a goal scorer, and he will also help create opportunities for his teammates. He has the quality and the experience to be a handy option for Arsenal.
Jesus is a proven performer
Jesus has 31 goals and 22 assists in 117 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions. Prior to that, he showed his quality at Manchester City, where he scored 95 goals and recorded 45 assists in 236 appearances. He is a seasoned veteran in the Premier League, and it would be wise of Arsenal to keep him at the club.
They are unlikely to pocket much money from his departure, and he could be a more valuable asset to them if he stays.
Can Arsenal give Jesus a proper role?
However, the Brazilian could demand regular opportunities before renewing his deal with the London club. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal is prepared to provide him with a defined role in the team next season.
The 64-cap Brazilian International will want to compete at the highest level, and staying at Arsenal would be beneficial for him as well. They have a formidable team, and they are likely to push for major trophies in the upcoming seasons.
