Gabriel Jesus has declared his wish to remain at Arsenal beyond his current contract, which expires in 2027. The Brazilian forward, who returned from an 11-month knee injury in December, faces competition for his place from new signing Viktor Gyökeres and fit-again Kai Havertz. Jesus emphasized his primary focus is on staying healthy after a frustrating injury-hit spell.

Despite his desire to extend his stay, Jesus confirmed there have been no formal talks with the club about a new deal. He expressed full confidence in Gyökeres, a €63.5 million summer signing, to eventually deliver goals for the Gunners. Jesus sees his role as part of a competitive forward line aimed at winning trophies for Arsenal.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta also dismissed January transfer speculation surrounding Jesus. The Gunners face a challenging run of away fixtures across multiple competitions, including a crucial Champions League clash with Inter Milan. Securing a top-two finish in their European group is a key objective to secure home advantage for the knockout stages.
