Arsenal look set for another busy summer on the transfer front as Mikel Arteta and Edu look to fine-tune their squad.

The Gunners have enjoyed a bright season and remain firmly in contention for the Premier League title.

Arteta and Edu will not want to rest on their laurels and, as such, we’re likely to see a fair few incomings and outgoings at N5.

This week a report has emerged suggesting Arsenal could be willing to sell one of the players who initially got them back to title-challenging level.

The Athletic reported that Gabriel Jesus’ future at the Emirates Stadium is ‘not guaranteed’ and, if the Gunners receive offers for him, they would be prepared to listen.

This report comes just two years after Arsenal snapped up the 27-year-old forward from Manchester City in a deal worth around £45million.

Now, BBC Sport pundit Glenn Murray has given his verdict on the report, urging the Gunners not to sell Jesus this summer.

What has Glenn Murray said about Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus?

Murray said on BBC Radio 5 Live (3/5/24, 714pm): “As far as Jesus is concerned, I think if you ask him personally, he will probably be disappointed with his numbers that he has got this season.

“He will want and he will expect more of himself. I am sure that if he does stay at the football club, they will be better next year.

“I wouldn’t let him go anywhere. I think he is unique in what he does.”

Arsenal shouldn’t cash in on Gabriel Jesus

Murray is spot on. Although Jesus has his limitations and hasn’t had a great season, he’s a world-class player with an outstanding all-round game.

Jesus is also a hard-working and popular player who teammates, coaches and fans love. So with all that in mind, he’d be better off staying at the club.

Admittedly, Arteta may need to find another role for him, perhaps on the flanks or as a second striker, because a clinical No. 9 is a necessity for Arsenal.
