Serie A giants AC Milan are tracking Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus ahead of a potential January swoop as the forward finally makes a comeback from injury. The Brazil star spent almost a year on the sidelines after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in January this year.

Mikel Arteta has ruled out the prospect of Gabriel Jesus leaving Arsenal in January. The 28-year-old made his long-awaited return to first-team actions as a 62nd-minute substitute in Wednesday's 3-0 Champions League win at Club Brugge.

GABRIEL JESUS has been doubting himself for the last 11 months. But there is certainly no doubt that Arsenal have missed the Brazilian striker and fittingly, Jesus is back in time for Christmas.

Mikel Arteta has said that Gabriel Jesus is “very close” to an Arsenal return, but is cautious about how soon the Brazil forward is reintegrated into first team matches.

Gabriel Jesus gave his thoughts on his return to football after 11 months on the sidelines as he helped Arsenal earn a 3-0 victory in Belgium to mark six wins from six for the team in the Champions League this season.

Mikel Arteta hailed "magic" Noni Madueke following his impressive brace in Arsenal's 3-0 win against Club Brugge, in which Gabriel Jesus returned from injury.

After 15 league games this season, Arsenal have suffered 15 injuries but the number of absentees have largely been a subplot
