Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has finally reacted to various report linking Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus away from the club in the January transfer window.
Jesus has failed to secure a place in Mikel Arteta’s team with the former Manchester City star being used as a substitute so far this season by Arteta. The Brazilian has only made two Premier League starts this season and has been linked with an exit in January.
With Jesus yet to score a goal in the English top flight in 12 outings in total, there are reports Arsenal are eager to cash out on the forward.
However, Arteta has Insisted his prized asset will not be leaving Arsenal anytime soon.

No, no sense,” Arteta told a press conference when asked about reports Arsenal could sell Jesus. “Like all strikers, they go on phases and moments and that gap is becoming big.
It’s true that obviously a lot of things has happened, injuries, absences of not playing or starting games that much. But his attitude has been really good, it always is, and we’re going to try to help him overcome the situation as soon as possible.”
Contracted until 2027, Jesus will be eager to get back to the form that saw him become one of the best Brazilian player in Premier League history.
Jesus is contracted to Arsenal until 2027 and has lost his place in the Brazilian squad due to short playing time..
