The “Romford Pele” has publicly predicted that Gabriel Jesus is edging incredibly close to the exit door, perfectly coinciding with wild reports that the Gunners could sensationally transfer-list four other first-team players.
Jesus’ time at Arsenal has been a bit of a rollercoaster. When he first arrived, he completely transformed the Gunners’ frontline with his relentless pressing and chaotic energy.
However, fast forward to today, and his starting spot is no longer fully guaranteed.
Parlour tips Jesus to leave Arsenal
According to Parlour’s comments, as reported by Metro, the Brazilian striker’s sheer desire for guaranteed minutes will likely push him away this summer.
“I think Jesus might leave at the end of the season, he is at that age where he wants to be playing week in, week out,” Parlour explained.
The Arsenal icon pointed out that modern squads need serious depth, recalling his own playing days: “We had four strikers when I played. That is what I don’t understand. [Regardless of Jesus leaving], bring in another one anyway”.
Parlour firmly believes that fresh attacking blood would raise the competitive standards across the entire dressing room.
But Jesus might not be the only massive name clearing out his locker. To fund their highly ambitious summer targets, specifically, making a permanent swoop for standout defender Piero Hincapie, Arsenal reportedly need to generate serious cash.
