Overview

• Multiple reports on September 18, citing former scout Mick Brown via Football Insider, say Arsenal are prepared to accept suitable offers for Jesus in the January 2026 window.
• Jesus ruptured his cruciate ligament in January 2025 and is expected to be back around December or early next year, according to the reports.
• Summer recruits Viktor Gyökeres, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke have strengthened the attack, with Gyökeres starting every game and Havertz viewed as the next option when fit.
• Brown also says Mikel Arteta is identifying January targets and is willing to move on fringe players to raise funds for reinvestment.
• If no acceptable January bid arrives, outlets note a sale could shift to the summer, while Arsenal Insider points to Jesus’ Champions League omission and a new squad photo as signs of a reduced role.
