Arteta reportedly make a major decision on Jesus’ future ahead of summer transfer window

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly set to put all his faith in Gabriel Jesus next season, as the Gunners look to pursue other priorities in the transfer market. According to a report by Express UK, Arteta’s revised summer transfer plan does not involve buying a new striker.

Despite only scoring nine Premier League goals and making five assists this season, Jesus has shown flashes of brilliance and potential. The Brazilian forward has been a key player for Arsenal since joining the club last year, and it seems that Arteta believes he can replicate that plus more next season.

The Gunners are currently in a title race, sitting second on the Premier League table with 75 points after 33 games. However, they are closely following first-placed Manchester City, who have 76 points and two games in hand.

With Arsenal’s recent resurgence under Arteta’s leadership, it seems that the club is looking to build on their success by focusing on other areas of the team rather than bringing in a new striker. This decision could prove to be a wise one if Jesus can step up and deliver for the Gunners next season.

Arsenal fans will undoubtedly be excited about the prospect of continually seeing Jesus in an Arsenal shirt next season. With Arteta at the helm and a strong squad at his disposal, there is every reason to believe that Arsenal could challenge for major honours once again in the near future.
