Gabriel Jesus Says Arsenal Want Him Back as Comeback Nears

His comments signal confidence in a return that would intensify competition up front after Arsenal installed Viktor Gyokeres as first-choice striker.

Overview

  • Jesus told ESPN Brasil the coach and board tell him daily they are eager for his return, and he stressed he is under contract until 2027.
  • He has been sidelined since a serious knee/ACL injury in January and, despite progress, is still a few weeks from being match ready.
  • Coverage indicates Arsenal plan a careful reintegration, with analysis projecting managed minutes in cup ties and game-management scenarios.
  • His availability would add competition for the centre-forward role alongside Gyokeres and Kai Havertz, potentially reshaping selection.
  • Reports have floated a possible 2026 exit, but Jesus signaled he intends to remain at Arsenal through the end of his deal.
