Arsenal signed Viktor Gyokeres<\/a> this summer in an attempt to add goals to their side, with the former Sporting Lisbon man improving strength in depth in the centre forward position.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, another striker that Arsenal<\/a> signed for big money is starting to feel like a forgotten man as a result.<\/p>\n Arsenal signed Gabriel Jesus<\/a> for \u00a345 million<\/a> in 2022 and to much fanfare, with the Brazilian\u2019s addition from Manchester City seen as quite the coup.<\/p>\n However, the South American attacker has struggled for fitness since moving to the Emirates Stadium and is currently sidelined with a knee injury.<\/p>\n Arsenal recently confirmed their Champions League squad and Jesus\u2019 name was a notable omission, with the Brazilian still not ready to contribute for the Gunners.<\/p>\n While his return to the first-team fold is not seen as too far away, Jesus will surely be demoralised by the fact he is not in Arsenal\u2019s European squad.<\/p>\n Arsenal fans haven\u2019t seen best of Jesus<\/p>\n Jesus had his most productive season in England immediately after signing for Arsenal, with the 28-year-old contributing 11 Premier League goals and six assists in 26 matches in 2022-23.<\/p>\n However, the Brazil international has been less effective since, with fitness concerns limiting his time on the pitch and seeing him drop down the pecking order at Arsenal.<\/p>\n The Gunners\u2019 fans will know that Jesus can be a lethal weapon when fit and firing, and he is clearly an elite forward when in the mood.<\/p>\n If Arsenal are to win major silverware this season, getting the Brazilian back available and scoring goals would be a big boost for Arteta\u2019s side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal have spent the summer trying to improve their squad, with the North London club hoping to end…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[498,49,48,5810,68587,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-124090","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-english-premier-league","12":"tag-gabriel-jesus","13":"tag-soccer","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124090\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Arsenal](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2226657343-1024x683.jpg\")
