Arsenal 'prepared to listen to Gabriel Jesus transfer offers' after stunning Kai Havertz renaissance | JFU33YN | 2024-05-02 02:08:01
ARSENAL are reportedly ready to listen to offers for Gabriel Jesus after the emergence of Kai Havertz.
The Brazilian forward, 27, arrived at the Emirates for £45m in 2022 after winning the Premier League title four years out of five at Manchester City.
He scored three goals and produced three assists in his first five outings before his injury problems started to begin.
Jesus suffered a knee injury in action for Brazil at the World Cup and spent three months on the sidelines.
This season he has only missed six matches through injury, but his game-time has still been restricted due to the form of Havertz.
The German forward, 24, arrived as an attacking midfielder from London rivals Chelsea last summer.
But after a shaky start, he has been deployed up front and repaid Mikel Arteta's faith in him with some fine form.
Havertz has scored 12 goals and produced six assists in the Premier League compared to Jesus' output of four goals and four assists for Arsenal.
The Gunners have also been linked with a potential move for several other strikers.
And now The Athletic state that the club are willing to listen to offers for Samba ace Jesus.

He still has three years remaining on his contract at the Emirates.
However, this update says chiefs are ready to sanction a sale if a suitable offer comes in for him.
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> Jesus still remains a popular figure inside the Arsenal dressing-room and is well-liked by the boss.
The pair developed a strong relationship at City when Arteta was Pep Guardiola's coach.
But Jesus recently revealed that he is still having problems with his knee and may have to go under the knife at the end of the season.
He said: "Even here at Arsenal, there are things that you have to hold on to: go train, play, train today, don't train, play.
"In short, it's difficult, but my desire is always to be available for both Arsenal and the national team.
"It doesn't matter if, at the end of the season, I have to open up my knee and correct what's getting in the way and end up missing out on a chance to play in the Copa America.
"I'm just trying to get fit and help Arsenal as much as I can."
Jesus, who has scored 19 goals in 66 appearances for Arsenal, last month vowed to stay and fight for his place amid speculation that the Gunners wanted a new striker.
He said: "They already know if they want to [sign a striker] or not.
"Maybe this question is not for me but for them. My job is to try to work, train hard, improve what I have to improve and help Arsenal win games and after win trophies.
"The speculation will always be there, not only here but every club.
"People want to decide who the club wants to sign. This is not just happening at Arsenal but a lot of clubs."
