Arsenal are preparing for another ambitious summer as they look to build a squad capable of dominating the 2026–27 campaign.
While new signings remain a priority, the Gunners also know that trimming the squad is equally important.
Several fringe players are expected to leave, and Gabriel Jesus appears to be among the most likely departures.
According to a report, Everton are considering making a move for Jesus this summer.
The Toffees are searching for proven attacking quality and have already begun exploring the possibility of signing the Brazilian.
Jesus scored six goals and provided two assists in 27 appearances across all competitions last season.
He played a supporting role behind Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz last season.
Despite his reduced role, Jesus still possesses the experience of competing at the highest level with both Manchester City and Arsenal.
His impressive trophy collection also makes him an attractive option for clubs seeking proven winners.
The biggest concern is his poor injury record.
Jesus missed the first part of the previous campaign due to a cruciate ligament tear.
Recurring hamstring and knee problems have also disrupted his rhythm over the past few years.
Arsenal are expected to push for his departure as his current contract expires at the end of next summer.
This summer window represents the last realistic chance for the Premier League champions to recoup some of their investment in the striker.
The Gunners have reportedly placed a £20 million valuation on the striker.
Whether Everton are prepared to meet that asking price while also matching Jesus’ substantial wage demands remains the biggest obstacle to any potential deal.
