It could be that Arsenal are facing an even longer period without the injured Gabriel Jesus than initially expected.
The Brazil international has picked up a serious knock whilst in Qatar for the World Cup, and it’s now posing major questions for the Gunners ahead of the January transfer window.
Jesus has been a key player for Arsenal since joining them from Manchester City in the summer, helping them take a surprise five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Now, however, it could be that Jesus is facing three months out of action, according to some sources cited below…
Gabriel Jesus three months out. Will need to have surgery on his knee. He’s flying to London on Sunday 3pm to begin his recovery. Really bad news https://t.co/DuDDcDN29n

This is despite Globo Esporte initially reporting that Jesus was estimated to be out for a month, which would’ve been bad enough for Mikel Arteta and co.
If Jesus really does end up missing three months of the season, it’s surely vital for Arsenal to sign a top attacking player this winter, or their title dreams will be over pretty quickly.
Why do we need to sign a top attacking talent? We have nketiah… we pay him 100 grand a week to step up when times like these occur!!! Why hell would we go give a stranger a chance when we got our own solution ready n waiting for his chance to shine??
I swear if we replace nketiah without giving him the opportunity especially now when we have so many points above our season objectives? Ya all think we going for title… we ain’t even halfway through the season!!! Top 4 is our aim and we have the team to do it legitimately without mid season patchups
