News about Gabriel Jesus

Arsenal will consider selling Gabriel Jesus in the summer if a suitable offer arrives for the Brazilian striker who has been hampered by injuries since moving to the Emirates two-years ago. Jesus started his Emirates career brightly with three goals and three assists in his first five Premier League outings for the Gunners and was hailed as the proven goalscorer that the club had lacked in previous seasons.

ISAAN KHAN IN MUNICH: Arsenal crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich on Wednesday night, as Joshua Kimmich's second-half header handed the German giants a 3-2 win on aggregate at the Allianz Arena. Bayern, who conceded the Bundesliga crown to Bayer Leverkusen this weekend after winning 11 consecutive top flight titles, kept hopes of major silverware alive as they booked their place in the Champions League semi-finals alongside fellow German outfit Borussia Dortmund. Arsenal fought hard after falling behind in the 63rd minute but struggled to produce any clear cut chances, as Mikel Arteta threw on the likes of Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah in pursuit of an equaliser.

After weeks of anticipation, the Champions League came back with a bang for their quarter-final fixtures.  With 18 goals from just four matches, fans across Europe were treated to a handful of thrilling games, ranging from Arsenal's draw with Bayern to Barcelona's comeback at PSG.  It was a difficult night for both Arsenal and their title rivals Manchester City, who were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw with Spanish giants Real Madrid. 

Arsenal regained pole position in the Premier League title race after beating Brighton, a victory that saw them leapfrog Liverpool and Manchester City. Just hours after champions Crystal Palace was swatted aside at Selhurst Park, the spotlight was on Mikel Arteta's opponents to respond on the south coast. After Tariq Lamptey's dangling leg spotted Gabriel Jesus, the visitors were given the lead at the interval, Bukayo Saka's ice-cool first-half penalty rewarded him. They then doubled their advantage after Kai Havertz's poacher's finish just after the hour, before Leandro Trossard scored against his former team. ISAAN KHAN of Mail Sport has rated the participants...

Fans of Arsenal's controversial penalty in the first half were elicit on Saturday, and Brighton fans were ecstatic. Tariq Lamptey was found to have fouled Gabriel Jesus inside the box, and referee John Brooks pointed to the spot. 'Lamptey has the ball perfectly,' one fan said.'

Brighton is confident they will be up against it this weekend when title challengers Arsenal landlocked at the Amex, looking to keep up with rivals Liverpool and Man City. Arsenal will know they can't afford to slip down as the title fight rumbles on between the three teams in one of the tightest competitions we have seen in recent years. After a solid season so far, Roberto De Zerbi's guys are ninth in the Premier League, but they haven't had a good run in the last five league games, drawing two and losing two.

NOTEBOOK: Pep Guardiola was hosting his former assistant coach and apprentice Mikel Arteta in a tense match in the Premier League championship race. Fans of the 1894 group had gathered in the Etihad for the first time before Gabriel Jesus was welcomed back to the Etihad, a place where he spent five years and scored over 90 goals.

Arsenal has been prolific this season, with no recognised striker scoring a single goal in the Premier League so far. Kai Havertz has often operated as a false nine when Gabriel Jesus has been wounded, and despite struggling at first, the role has flourished. However, as of next season, the Gunners will revert to a more traditional number nine system and are narrowing down their search.

MATT BARLOW: Brazil's new start came in a leafy Hertfordshire with Dorival Junior, the team's third boss since the World Cup in Qatar, assembles his squad for the first time and sends the message about what they represent and what their target should be. They are five-time world champions, and although the campaign got off to a rocky start and more than a year of leaderless drift, nothing more than winning gold in the United States in 2026 will do, Dorival told his players. A 61-year-old was a room full of talented footballers. In July, two young Real Madrid forwards in Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, as well as Endrick, the vivacious Palmeiras teenager who will travel to the Bernabeu Stadium for the 18th time.

JOSUE SEIXAS: When Dorival Jnior was appointed Brazil's head coach, one of the first moves of his career was to arrange a trip to England. He played five games and visited Manchester United's training centers, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Fulham, where he spoke with colleagues. On Saturday, Dorival named ten players from the Premier League as the time came to select his first squad for friendlies against England, and Spain, three days later.

SAMI MOKBEL: Arsenal beat Porto at the Emirates on Tuesday night thanks to a penalty shootout victory. Through Leandro Trossard, the Gunners were able to salvage a one-goal deficit from the first leg and reach their first goal in the first period. The home team wanted a crucial second goal on north London, but the Portuguese outfit delivered as good as they could.

ISAAN KHAN: They have the best defense in the Premier League, and Thomas Partey's long-awaited return may make Arsenal even more useful. The Gunners have the most clean sheets (10) and have conceded the fewest goals (23) in the division, having restarted after losing to Fulham and West Ham in late December seemed to have put their title campaign into freefall. Gabriel Jesus or Eddie Nketiah leading the line, with Kai Havertz on the left and Declan Rice in a holding role, has been adapted late. Rice, as seen in the pivotal games against Liverpool and Newcastle last month, plays a roaming role when he was given the opportunity to keep Jorginho's safety.

Given the boatload of goals Arsenal has scored since the winter break, Mikel Arteta's cries for breaking the bank and signing a striker has understandably subsided. And with Gabriel Jesus as their No. 9 pick, the Gunners have scored 25 goals in six games, including their 4-1 victory over Newcastle, establishing one of the most unusual records in the region. Arsenal beat Arsenal in the first Premier League team to score at least twice in seven consecutive halves of football thanks to Jakub Kiwior's 69th-minute goal at the Emirates.

Gabriel Jesus will be ruled by Arsenal throughout the season to prevent further flare-ups of his persistent knee pains. Although he was an ineffective substitute in Saturday's victory over Newcastle, the Gunners striker hadn't played since January 30 due to a knee injury, the Gunners' victory. And although Jesus is hopeful of returning to action soon, Mail Sport reports that Arsenal medics are taking a cautious approach to his workload to ensure that the ongoing knee injury does not worsen.

Arsenal takes on Porto in the last-16, having the first leg in Portugal on February 21 in the return game at the Emirates Stadium on March 12. This week, they revealed their updated Champions League roster, with a notable inclusion.

SAMI MOKBEL AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM: Mikel Arteta praised Arsenal's "elite mentality" after his team opened the competition wide open with a landslide over leaders Liverpool. As the Gunners clinched a euphoric win at the Emirates, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard came to bring them within two points of Jurgen Klopp's team. However, Arteta's injury fears are also on the rise. At halftime, Oleksandr Zinchenko was forced to leave due to a calf injury, but Gabriel Jesus was forced to leave the game due to a knee injury.

Piers Morgan has mocked Mikel Arteta's decision to start Kai Havertz up front for Arsenal's vital match against Liverpool at The Emirates. Gabriel Jesus, according to the Gunners' manager, was coerced to make the squad for Sunday's game. The Brazilian sustained a knee injury in preparation, leading Arteta to a rethink about who to pick in attack for the match between Arsenal's title rivals. The Spanish manager picked Eddie Nketiah in place of like-for-like and picked Eddie Nketiah in place of the Arsenal number nine, rather than swapping like-for-like and selecting Hash as the team's key weapon. Many Gunners followers were surprised, and in particular TV host Morgan who made his feelings known with a piece on X.

According to reports, the real reason for Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White's bust-up after the final whistle in Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest has been revealed. In a repeat of the game last May that officially declared Manchester City as Premier League champions last May, the Gunners won a hugely crucial victory on the road, putting an end to Arsenal's own quest. After a dramatic opening 45 minutes, Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka's second-half goals had the visitors aiming for a tense victory.

Arsenal's second half goals from Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka enabled Arsenal to narrow the gap on Premier League leader Liverpool to two points, but this did not prevent Zinchenko and White from clashing shortly after the final whistle. The pair reportedly argued over the defensive confusion that caused Forest replacement Taiwo Awoniyi to post a goal late in the game, ensuring a tense finish for Arsenal. Arteta said, 'I love it.' I love the players' passion.' They don't have to win the game just to win the game. They wanted the clean sheet and were trying to figure out what happened.' Arteta said Arsenal had been inspired by their title collapse at Forest last season after the Gunners' 1-0 loss in May meant Manchester City regained the Premier League trophy.

Gabriel Jesus scored and set up Bukayo Saka for another seven minutes to lead Arsenal to a 2-1 Premier League victory over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, taking the north London side closer to leaders Liverpool by two points. The Gunners ruled possession but they failed to threaten the Forest goal until Jesus finally broke the deadlock in the 65th minute. Forest were unemployed on a throw-in, and the ball was dropped to Jesus who fired through keeper Matt Turner's legs from an uncomfortable tight angle. In the 72nd minute, the Gunners took the lead after Jesus played a ball to Saka, who shot across the goal. Turner had a hand on the ball but not enough to keep it out.

IAN LADYMAN AT THE CITY GROUND: This was a game Arsenal must win in order to advance. With Manchester City expected to run hot through the second half of the season and Liverpool hoping to reclaim emotional energy from the final months of the Jurgen Klopp period, it would have been a bad night on which to forfeit any advantage. Liverpool, the leaders, performed on Wednesday night and then visited the Emirates on Sunday. Arsenal may have been 11 points down if the wrong combination of results and tactics had been used. All of that and more seemed to be possible at halftime. Arsenal's lame, tame version of themselves in the first 45 minutes seemed to be a little too early, despite all the changes under coach Mikel Arteta's guidance. All possessions are present but no punch were made. All territories are untouched, but there is no such danger.

Arsenal remained within touching distance of the top of the Premier League table following a crucial victory over a dogged Nottingham Forest side. Mikel Arteta's men were in cruise control at the City Ground before Taiwo Awoniyi sparked a grandstand finish thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka. Since pulling the trigger from a tight angle and threading the ball through goalkeeper Matt Turner's legs at the near post, Jesus had made the breakthrough. Saka retaliated in a clinical counter-attack after leading a finish into the far corner with aplomb, leaving Awoniyi's goal a mere consolation. IAN LADYMAN of Mail Sport has given a score for both teams, while DAN DAVIS has delved into the visitors' lives with brief summaries.

Gabriel Jesus, the Arsenal forward, has been barred from playing a common video game. On his Steam account, the 26-year-old has been given a Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) ban. Vain is a robot who detects bribery, indicating that Jesus hasn't been playing properly. According to trading firm CS.MONEY, Jesus had in-game items attached to his account worth about $38,000 (£30,000), but if his ban is reversed, it will all be lost.
