Shock report: Arsenal ready to offer 28-year-old striker a new contract despite strong exit rumours – one-year deal discussed

Arsenal are reportedly willing to offer Gabriel Jesus a new contract extension.
 

The 28-year-old forward is currently sidelined after suffering an ACL injury against Manchester United in the FA Cup back in January.

In recent months, reports have suggested that Arsenal are prepared to sell Jesus. However, with the Brazilian still recovering from a serious knee injury, a potential summer exit remains complicated.

Now, a surprise update has emerged regarding his future.

According to FootballTransfers, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to keep Gabriel Jesus for the long term, and discussions over a new one-year extension are understood to have taken place.

The news comes as a major surprise, given the widespread expectation that the Gunners were ready to part ways with the former Manchester City striker.
