Arsenal are planning to sell both Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard in the January transfer window, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.
The Gunners could reportedly be looking to trim Mikel Arteta’s squad following their £255m summer spree, which saw forwards Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke arrive.
According to O’Rourke, Jesus is expected to be behind both Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz in the pecking order when everyone is fully fit.
Havertz is also recovering from an injury setback, having undergone surgery to correct a knee issue he sustained during Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Manchester United last month.
Trossard, meanwhile, could also struggle for regular first-team minutes, as he is competing with the likes of Madueke, Eze, Dowman, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
O’Rourke claims the Belgium international will reportedly be set for a move away from the Emirates if his minutes do not increase by January, with clubs already exploring a potential deal with Arsenal.
Trossard was recently linked with a move to Besiktas, who were reportedly looking to sign the £90,000-a-week forward ahead of the Turkish transfer deadline on Friday.
