Arsenal transfer news: Jesus chases history as Gunners consider £20m summer sale
Arsenal transfer news: Gabriel Jesus has endured a punishing stretch since returning from an ACL injury that ruled him out for eleven months. According to a report via GOAL, the 29-year-old managed six goals in 27 appearances after making his comeback in December, and that modest return has steadily pushed him further down Mikel Arteta’s pecking order.
Jesus played only a bit-part role in Arsenal‘s 2025-26 Premier League title win, scoring just three goals in 14 appearances and making a mere three top-flight starts. Despite those numbers, he still left his mark on the title run, netting the opener in the final-day win over Crystal Palace that confirmed Arsenal as champions.
Arsenal transfer news and the record that keeps Jesus in England
The forward has long spoken about a desire to return to his boyhood club Palmeiras one day, though that move appears firmly on hold. Jesus addressed his future directly after the Crystal Palace match, saying “the future belongs to God” and that he still has one year left on his Arsenal contract, adding that he wants to prove to himself that he can still play at a high level.

A bigger motivation for staying in English football is the record within his reach. Roberto Firmino holds the record for the most Premier League goals by a Brazilian, with 82. Jesus sits four goals behind that mark, and breaking it would cement his place among the greatest South Americans to play in the division.
Arsenal transfer news points to a summer crossroads for the Gunners
Arsenal are prepared to consider offers of around £20 million to part ways with Jesus during the summer window, and multiple clubs have already enquired about his situation. Atletico Madrid and Juventus have both shown interest, with Simeone’s side holding an early advantage linked to a potential part-exchange involving Julian Alvarez.

This is a decision Arsenal ought to handle with care rather than haste. Jesus brings experience, big-game quality, and genuine hunger, three things that still matter in a title-holding squad. Selling him for £20 million makes financial sense on paper, particularly with one year left on his deal.
If we see good offer for Gabriel Jesus we should accept that. Also the likes of Saka, Trossard and Odegaard need to be offloaded. Saka always shines on average games and disappears on big games.
The player all Arsenal fans must join hands and resist his signing is Hincapie! We simply don’t score goals with him on the left back!! Last season we spanked Man City 5-1 with Lewis-Skelly on the left back and Martinelli on the right of attack; we also beat Real Madrid 3 nil last season with Lewis-Skelly on the left back. The Atletico Madrid we thrashed 4 nil at the beginning of the season with Lewis-Skelly on the left back is what we’re struggling to get 1 nil with Hincapie. On the two recent occasions we met Man City with him we only scored once.
He simply dont know how to combine with the midfield and attack to create goals like Lewis-Skelly.
