On the field of play, Arsenal's Xaviers has conquered everyone with his extraordinary grit and excellence. Since his determined transition from attacking midfielder to arrowhead position in the middle of the season, he has scored eight goals in his last 11 matches, an outburst that has forced original star striker Gabil Jecis to retire to the bench. According to The Athletic, Arsenal have put Jecis up for sale and have urgently updated their list of acquisitions with the intention of bringing in a new Brazilian international.

Despite Jeseys' stunning performances since joining City last season, he has had a number of form and injury problems since suffering a serious knee injury in '22. He has scored just four goals in the Premier League this season. With Xaviers on the rise, Jesees' role has been reduced to that of a 'benchwarmer'. In 2024, he has only made two official appearances. As one of the team's highest-paid players, his performance is obviously not proportional to his high salary, so his retention has become a consideration for Arsenal.

Arsenal's desire to bring in a new striker has been a long time coming, with the name of Binford striker Ayewdoni having been mentioned in January. However, according to the UK's Daily Mirror, Arsenal currently have just three names on their acquisition list, including Newcastle's Alexander Ishak and RB Leipzig's Gauteng Kiokinis.
