LATEST NEWS: “It’s either he leaves by January or they will have to sack me,” Mikel Arteta reportedly said, expressing frustration over managing the same player who, in his view, caused the team to lose the league title twice. Arteta has informed the £50 million Arsenal player to find a new club by January, warning that if not, his contract will be terminated.
Mikel Arteta has reportedly delivered an ultimatum to a £50 million Arsenal player, indicating that the player must either leave by January or face the possibility of contract termination. Arteta’s frustration stems from his belief that this player is partly responsible for the team’s failure to win the Premier League title on two occasions.
The player in question is Gabriel Jesus, who has faced criticism for his underwhelming performance in front of goal. Despite Arsenal strengthening their squad with the signing of Kai Havertz, concerns have arisen over Jesus’ inability to score consistently. This lack of goals has contributed to frustration among fans and raised doubts about his role in the squad.
Palmeiras, Jesus’ former club, has shown interest in bringing him back, but Arsenal is reportedly hesitant to sell him before the summer. Although Palmeiras remains a potential destination, Jesus is currently comfortable in London, where his wages exceed what he would likely earn in Brazil.
However, if his goal-scoring form does not improve, Arsenal may be forced to reconsider their plans. The January transfer window could become a pivotal moment, determining whether Jesus stays at the club or moves on to revive his career elsewhere.
