Arsenal have reportedly told a star he can leave the club in January.
Mikel Arteta opted to freshen up his squad entirely across the summer window, bringing in eight new players, seven of those being permanent additions.
That has meant opportunities for some have been hard to come by so far this term, with the Spaniard now said to be ready to part ways with one player in particular.
Arsenal tell star to LEAVE the club in January
It's been pretty obvious to most that Arteta will not give up in his quest for Premier League silverware, with the Gunners' board backing him to deliver success in terms of a first top-flight title since 2003.
And with several members of his squad not cutting it in terms of performances, or even injury problems for that matter, trimming down his group seems again to be a priority as the January window approaches.
According to ESPN Brazil, Gabriel Jesus will be given permission to return back to Brazil in the winter months, with both Palmeiras and Flamengo interested in his services.
Reporters Andre Hernan and Bruno Andrade have given further details on the situation, insisting clubs are being placed on high alert regarding Jesus' availability in the next few months.
Gabriel Jesus looks much more towards staying in Europe than coming back to Brazil, explained Hernan.
Palmeiras made an approach earlier this year. Leila Pereira [Palmeiras president] even called before the club moved for Vitor Roque. But the response was that now isnt the right time for him to return.
Andrade revealed that Arsenal have already sent a message to the players camp and following the summer arrival of striker Viktor Gykeres, Jesus is now on the list of potentuial departures.
The club told Gabriel Jesus entourage that theres a chance he could leave, said Andrade. Both Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are open to a sale in the next transfer window.
The striker was also left out of Arsenals Champions League squad this season and in FourFourTwo's view, that would only further back up claims Arteta is happy to let Jesus leave in January.
