Juventus are reportedly considering offering a loan move for the Brazilian striker, a move made Italian media deem likely as Arsenal continues their search for a new, more prolific number nine.

Reports suggest Juventus are keeping a close eye on Gabriel Jesus‘ situation at Arsenal. The Italian giants are reportedly considering a loan move for the Brazilian striker as Arsenal explores options to strengthen their attack.

Since his £45m transfer from Manchester City in 2022, Jesus has shown glimpses of brilliance at Arsenal, netting 19 goals in 62 appearances. However, his inconsistent scoring form and injury problems have raised questions about his long-term role as Arsenal‘s primary striker.

Arsenal are reportedly looking for a new striker in the summer transfer window, with names like Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting) and Ivan Toney (Brentford) linked to the club. Both strikers are seen as potentially offering a more consistent goal threat, although the Toney rumours have died off recently.

Juventus reportedly see a potential opening with Jesus. According to TuttoJuve, they are interested in a potential loan deal. While Jesus intends to honour his contract with Arsenal, which runs until 2027, a temporary move could provide a change of scenery. Why Arsenal or the player would agree to this is anyone’s guess.

Despite the speculation, Jesus remains focused on Arsenal. He has expressed his determination to keep fighting for his place in Mikel Arteta‘s squad.

Even if Arsenal signs a new striker, Jesus’ work rate, link-up play, and versatility make him a valuable asset. His contributions off the ball are likely to remain a crucial part of Arsenal‘s plan for next season.
