A significant Premier League transfer could be on the horizon for Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian forward might soon be moving to a new club in England, marking a departure from his time at both the Emirates Stadium and his former home, the Etihad.
His current season was derailed by an ACL injury sustained against Manchester United in the FA Cup in January. As he nears a return to fitness, questions surrounding his long-term role at Arsenal persist.
The acquisition of Viktor Gyokeres suggests Arsenal’s attacking strategy has evolved beyond Jesus. Furthermore, the playmaking artistry and flair of Eberechi Eze now provide much of the dynamic, creative element that the ex-Manchester City player once offered.
Jesus may now need to actively explore his options in the transfer market.
Everton Emerges as a Potential Suitor
Reports suggest a surprise move to Everton could be a real possibility. An article relayed by the Italian source AS Roma Live claims that the Friedkin Group, who are reportedly interested in the player, could facilitate a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The outlet specifically notes: “The former Manchester City striker has struggled to prove his worth at Arsenal.
The next step in his career, aligned with Everton’s need to bolster their attacking line, could see him join the Toffees.
His transfer fee is estimated to be between £25 million and £30 million.” Jesus has also been linked with a transfer to Serie A, particularly to AC Milan.
A Platform for a Career Reset
Having seen his playing time limited by injury and the tactical preference of Mikel Arteta for other players, Jesus is now positioned for a potential Premier League reinvention away from North London.
He successfully navigated a similar situation once before, revitalizing his career by becoming the focal point of Arsenal’s attack after falling out of favour at Manchester City.
Everton could now provide the necessary stage for him to execute this revival again. While the move might spark debate among some Toffees supporters, on his best form, Jesus is undeniably a challenging forward for any defense.
Though perhaps not a consistently prolific scorer, his relentless pressing, chance creation, and unpredictable movement make him an exciting, high-impact player.
If he were to join, he could prove to be an inspired signing, one that manager David Moyes could potentially rejuvenate, similar to the resurgence he has overseen with Jack Grealish.
