From Dispatch Room
Arsenal are reportedly ready to prioritise the sale of Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus as the club continues to reshape its attacking options ahead of the new season.
Jesus, who joined Arsenal from Manchester City, is valued at around £50 million and has been linked with a possible exit as manager Mikel Arteta looks to create room for fresh attacking reinforcements. The forward arrived at the Emirates with Premier League title-winning experience from his time at City.
The development comes amid reports that Arsenal have held transfer talks involving Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers. Rogers has attracted strong interest after an impressive campaign, with Arsenal understood to be considering him as part of their plans to strengthen the squad.
Jesus has shown flashes of quality at Arsenal but has also struggled with injuries and inconsistency. With the Gunners aiming to maintain their challenge for major trophies, the club may now be willing to cash in if a suitable offer arrives.
Arsenal are expected to be active in the summer window as they seek more firepower and greater squad depth. Any sale of Jesus could help fund new arrivals, including potential moves for younger attacking targets such as Rogers.
No agreement has been reached for Jesus’ departure, and Arsenal have not confirmed any formal decision. However, reports suggest the club is prepared to listen to offers as Arteta continues planning for the next phase of his squad rebuild.
