Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has discussed the potential of bringing in a new striker during the January transfer window. Arteta emphasized the importance of supporting the current squad, despite the injury concerns surrounding Brazilian attacker Gabriel Jesus.
Arteta expressed hope that Jesus’ injury is not severe, but admitted that a scan was necessary and they could not afford to take any risks with his fitness. The nature of Jesus’ injury and the length of his potential absence have not been disclosed.
Gabriel Jesus, who plays as a forward for Arsenal in the Premier League, is a key player for the club. His absence could prompt Arsenal to consider reinforcing their attacking options during the transfer window to maintain their competitive edge.
Arteta’s comments suggest a cautious approach to the transfer market, with a focus on the well-being of his current players. The club has not yet made any official announcements regarding new signings or the detailed status of Jesus’ injury.
