What happened. Mikel Arteta hinted Gabriel Jesus could leave Arsenal after the forward missed training on Thursday, with the club hoping to sell him before the September 1 deadline.

Jesus is in the final year of his contract.
He has been linked with Napoli, but the deal stalled.
Arteta cited squad numbers and individual situations.

“Well, it's something to do with the numbers that we have in the squad at the moment and the way we're managing that kind of situation individually with all the players that have some personal situations.”
— Mikel Arteta

Arsenal aim to sell both Jesus and Martinelli before the window closes, reshaping their attack.
