  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Last month, reports emerged that the Brazilian giants were aiming to bring back the striker in a dream move ahead of the FIFA Club World next year and were prepared to offer €40 million (£33m/$45m) for the player. However, Palmeiras president Leila Pereira has confirmed that the club's pursuit of Jesus has ended.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The 27-year-old graduated from Palmeiras' academy in 2015 and spent two years with their senior team before completing a transfer to Manchester City in 2017. He moved to north London in 2022 and has since made 87 appearances across all competitions for the Gunners. Jesus, however, has fallen out of favour since last season as Kai Havertz has emerged as Mikel Arteta's first-choice striker.
