Former Arsenal defender urges Gunners to avoid signing Gabriel Jesus replacement amid injury issues

Former Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre believes the Gunners do not need to sign a replacement for Gabriel Jesus in the January transfer window. The Frenchman insists that the north London outfit must stick with their current squad while backing Eddie Nketiah to step up and perform.

Jesus suffered a knee injury in Brazil’s final group-stage fixture against Cameroon in the FIFA World Cup. This has prompted speculation that the Gunners could potentially bring in a new striker, with Netherlands star Cody Gakpo and Portugal forward Goncalo Ramos reportedly on their radar.

However, Silvestre has warned his former outfit of signing a forward in the January window, saying (via Football365):

“I don’t think it makes any sense to go out and buy a new player. I think they should stick with their current squad and I think that Eddie Nketiah has the potential to reach a really high level. He is not completely there yet, but this is his chance to grab the opportunity. He needs to grab this chance and score goals.”

He added:

“It is a massive blow for Arsenal that he is injured now because he is so important to their style of playing. He creates space for the other players. But when a player is missing it opens up the opportunity for another player to step up.”
