The former Gunners striker fears for Jesus’ game-time after Arsenal spent £64m to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting. Arsenal signed Jesus from Manchester City in 2022 and the £45m signing was initially a key member of Arteta’s squad, making 69 appearances during his first two seasons at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal have already spent big this summer transfer window but Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta may not be done just yet as they target a Premier League title win

Arsenal continue to be proactive in youth recruitment. 17-year-old Demiane Agustien arrives from Derby County, while a deal for Salford’s striker Will Wright is also close. These signings reflect the club’s desire to refresh and future-proof their academy.
