Overview

• Palmeiras president Leila Pereira publicly called for Gabriel Jesus to come back to his boyhood club, telling him he will “return home.”
• UK reports say Arsenal are open to listening to January bids for the 28-year-old as competition increases up front.
• Jesus currently sits behind Viktor Gyökeres and Kai Havertz in the pecking order after a prolonged knee-related absence.
• Interest from Palmeiras is tempered by likely challenges covering Premier League-level wages and any transfer fee.
• Just Arsenal reports he could be fit around the window’s opening, while Football Insider claims he may not feature for Arsenal this season.
