Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus denied reports suggesting a possible return to his native Brazil. The speculation appeared in local media following his long knee injury. The Brazilian international suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury during the January FA Cup match against Manchester United and was sidelined for almost ten months.
According to Jesus, there were never any negotiations with another club. He admitted that his dream is to return to Palmeiras, where he began his career, but he is currently fully focused on Arsenal. After a demanding surgery and a long recovery, his goal is to regain full fitness and help the team in the Premier League.
The Brazilian striker recently returned to full training with the team. He stated that he will consider any potential transfer only in the future when he feels completely ready. He also criticized journalists who, in his view, spread inaccurate information without verifying the facts.
During his recovery, Jesus spent part of his time in Brazil, where he used Palmeiras’ training facilities. This allowed him to continue his rehabilitation while staying close to his family. This approach helped him maintain both his physical and mental condition.
Arsenal currently sits at the top of the Premier League table, and the return of the experienced forward provides the team with a valuable boost. His presence gives manager Mikel Arteta more attacking options and increases competition in the offensive lineup. The club hopes that Jesus will soon return to matches and build on his performances from previous seasons.
For Arsenal, his comeback comes at the right time as the team fights for the title and needs as deep a squad as possible. Jesus’ attitude and determination can serve as inspiration for other players and fans alike.
