The Brazil international sustained the injury during the Arsenal match against Manchester United on Sunday, where he was substituted after showing signs of discomfort. He will likely be out for the rest of the season.
The 27-year-old is set to undergo surgery in the coming days and will subsequently begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme.
Jesus’ time at Arsenal has been marred by fitness issues since his arrival from Manchester City in 2022.
In his time with the club, he has participated in only 96 of 132 games across all competitions, a 75% availability rate.
Jesus will be a massive miss for the Gunners. He was on a hot streak with six goals in his last seven appearances.
The latest setback leaves Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta with a significant dilemma for the title run-in.
Kai Havertz is the only senior player available to fill the centre-forward role, and his profligacy in front of goal is an issue. Adding to the injury woes, forwards Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri are also sidelined.
Arsenal are reportedly gunning for a new striker to replace Jesus and have been linked with Dusan Vlahovic, but the Gunners need to be more ambitious with their targets.
The north Londoners need a number nine with presence in the opposition box, and there are few better at making themselves a nuisance than Victor Osimhen.
The 26-year-old Nigerian international is one of the best in the world and would be a handful for Premier League defenders. A deal might be difficult to hash out with Galatasaray and Napoli in the picture, but it is a risk worth taking to get their Premier League campaign back on track.
Osimhen has bagged 13 goals and created ten big chances across the league and Europa League. He would be an excellent pick for the Gunners and jump at the chance to compete in the Premier League.
