Arsenal may need to enter the transfer market this winter, as one of the team's key players has reportedly suffered a serious injury.
Details: According to The Athletic, Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus is suspected to have torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee.
He is set to undergo additional medical examinations today, but initial assessments from doctors are highly discouraging.
To offset Jesus' absence, Arsenal is expected to sign a new striker in January. Reports suggest it will likely be a loan deal until the end of the season rather than a permanent transfer.
This season, Jesus has scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists in 27 appearances.
Reminder: Earlier, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was asked whether the club would pursue a new forward, but no concrete decisions had been disclosed.
