Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he has had “tough” conversations with forwards Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, with both players appearing to be on course for possible exits from the club amid ongoing transfer speculation. The reports describe discussions around each player’s situation and future.
Across outlets, the broader context is that Martinelli and Jesus are not expected to remain for the long term. Free Malaysia Today adds that Martinelli could be linked with a move to Al Hilal, while it characterizes Jesus as having slipped down the pecking order after an injury-affected period. The Express Tribune and other reports similarly frame the situation around potential departures, without specifying a final outcome.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: some highlight Arteta’s readiness for difficult talks and the inevitability of such conversations, while others focus more on possible destinations or playing-time changes. None of the sources provided confirms the transfers as completed.
