Mikel Arteta has spoken about the new transfer to the club as well as the possible return of Gabriel Jesus to the attack.
It is not yet known for sure when Jesus will return, but the Brazilian has asked the coach, Arteta, to be on the field next week.
However, Arteta in an announcement said that the striker is unlikely to be with Arsenal next week, as he has not yet recovered from the injury.
“We need some more cover in midfield ideally if we can — in this market it’s difficult to do that. There are concerns, Elneny is injuried so let’s see”.
“Gabriel Jesus wants to be here next week but it’s unrealistic”, Arteta says.
