Arsenal's legend, Alan Smith, urged Mikel Arteta to push Gabriel Jesus, but he also wanted the Gunners to keep Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
The former Gunners' striker is concerned about Gabriel Jesus's appearance, after Arsenal spent £ 64 million to sign a contract with Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting. Arsenal signed a contract with Jesus from Man City in 2022, a £ 45 million contract that integrated 69 times in the first two seasons at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal was advised to sell Gabriel Jesus in the summer of 2025. |
But serious injury led Jesus to play 17 times in the Premier League last season, causing Arsenal to bring a new striker this summer. Arsenal's legend, Alan Smith, urged Mikel Arteta to push Gabriel Jesus, but he also wanted the Gunners to keep Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. He said:
“I think Gabriel Jesus can leave because he has a history of injury. Pushing him leave to earn a money should be taken into account. With Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz, there may not be many opportunities for him this season.
I want to keep Leangro Trossard because he is a versatile player, played well and scored important goals. I don't think Arteta wants to lose him. Martinelli, too, he didn't have the best season, but I thought Arteta wanted to keep him. ”
Martinelli and Trossard are all thought to consider their future at Arsenal when Arteta wants to sign a contract with Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. Martinelli has attracted the attention of some European clubs, while the two Premier League clubs are watching Trossard's situation at Arsenal.
