Gabriel Jesus has moved to silence immediate transfer talk while acknowledging a long-term curiosity about other leagues. The striker rejected the idea of an imminent exit but accepted that a future move could be possible because he enjoys watching and learning from different styles of football.<\/p>\n
Competition for minutes at Arsenal is intense. Viktor Gy\u00f6keres is all but guaranteed a starting berth upfront, while the wide positions are crowded under Arteta. Bukayo Saka must fend off Noni Madueke plus the promising Ethan Nwaneri and Max Dowman. Eberechi Eze is not guaranteed a starting spot on the left wing even after his \u00a367.5 million move this summer, with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard also in form. The return of Kai Havertz adds another layer of uncertainty about where Jesus will fit into the side.<\/p>\n
That uncertainty has generated speculation about a January switch to aid his hopes of securing a place in the squad for this summer\u2019s World Cup, and there have been reports linking him to Palmeiras as well as to Everton and West Ham United. Jesus pushed back on those reports.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s never been any contact with anyone at the club or my staff,\u201d Jesus declared to PLACAR . \u201cEvery day, the coach and the board say they\u2019re eager for my return. I don\u2019t see myself outside the club\u2019s plans. I have a contract until 2027, and if there\u2019s no renewal by then, I\u2019ll be at the club at least until 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also addressed his mindset after injury and the arrival of reinforcements. \u201cI was in a great moment when I got injured,\u201d he sighed. \u201cObviously, the club couldn\u2019t be at the mercy of a single player and would go after someone in my position, but that doesn\u2019t affect my desire to win and win titles with Arsenal. On the contrary, my main focus is to return and return well.\u201d<\/p>\n
On future destinations, Jesus was candid about his attraction to other competitions. \u201cI watch a lot of La Liga and Serie A matches, and I think they\u2019re championships with beautiful football,\u201d Jesus mused. \u201cIt certainly makes me want to try things out, but my goal is to win titles with Arsenal.\u201d A return to Brazil remains part of his planning, but for now his focus is on recovery and regaining his place at Arsenal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
