I am conveying the news to you that he does not deserve to be on this squad, and he will undoubtedly lose us the League once more this season. Mikel Arteta, a 26-year-old top player for Arsenal, is scheduled to be replaced during the January transfer window.

After Arsenal's loss to Aston Villa by a score of 1-0, Steve Nicol expressed his substantial disapproval of Gabriel Jesus, stating that the Brazilian striker "vanished" during the encounter that took place on Saturday.
Jesus only managed to get one shot on target during the entire 90 minutes that the Gunners played, despite the fact that his WhoScored match rating was 6.65, which was higher than the ratings of five of his colleagues.
While Arsenal squandered opportunities in front of goal, with Martin Odegaard missing important chances, Aston Villa gained the lead through a nice finish by John McGinn and maintained a firm defense. It was Arsenal who failed to capitalize on their opportunities.
Jesus, a former striker for Manchester City, was subjected to a heightened level of scrutiny for his performance, which prompted Nicol, a former right-back for Liverpool, to propose that Arsenal should look to sign a strong No. 9 in order to have a chance of winning the Premier League.
Nicol voiced his dissatisfaction with Jesus’ performance, adding that it appeared as though Arsenal was playing with ten men due to the 26-year-old’s underwhelming contribution to the game.
When it came to breaking down a determined defense, he underlined the significance of having a powerful attacking force, and he brought attention to the fact that Jesus was not present to create opportunities for the squad.
In the middle of this, there are speculations that Arteta is considering making a possible signing of forwards Ivan Toney from Brentford and Victor Osimhen from Napoli. It has been reported that Toney is eager to leave Brentford in January, following the conclusion of his suspension for violating the gambling rules of the Football Association. Following his refusal to accept a contract extension, Osimhen, who is also being pursued by Chelsea, may leave Napoli at the conclusion of the current season.
