Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus intends to continue his Premier League career through the 2026/27 season, according to ESPN. The 29-year-old Brazilian's priority is to fulfill his contract with Arsenal. However, a move to another league club in pursuit of regular playing time remains a possibility.

Since returning to the pitch in December 2025 after an 11-month absence due to an ACL injury, Jesus has scored 6 goals in 27 appearances for Arsenal. He has often expressed his desire to one day return to his boyhood club, Palmeiras, which he left in 2017 to sign with Manchester City.

However, Jesus, now in his ninth full Premier League season, has compelling reasons to stay put. He needs just four more goals to become the all-time leading Brazilian scorer in the Premier League. The current record of 82 goals is held by former Liverpool player Roberto Firmino. Furthermore, remaining in England ensures Jesus will qualify for British citizenship later this year. The Brazilian has been with Arsenal since July 2022, and his current contract runs until June 30, 2027.

During the 2025/26 season, he has netted 6 goals and provided 3 assists in 27 matches across all competitions.
