Arsenal have set a price tag on star player who has been linked with a January move to Everton.
Arsenal ready to offload star player at loss as Everton show interest originally appeared on The Sporting News
Arsenal have had a great start to the 2025/26 season as they have secured four wins from the first six Premier League matches whilst also winning their first two Champions League games.
The Gunners are looking like a solid outfit and if they keep up this form throughout the entire season then there's no reason why they can't compete with Liverpool and Man City for the league title.
The new signings have also started to deliver for the North London outfit and therefore, Arsenal may look to offload some surplus players who are not getting enough minutes.
One such player has to be Gabriel Jesus, who has returned to training after a long-term injury and may be on his way out of the Emirates Stadium in January.
Jesus moved to Arsenal from Man City in 2022 after a sensational stint with the Citizens where he won four Premier League crowns and he was expected to lead the Gunners frontline for the next few years.
However, that was not the case as he suffered incessant injury problems and even when he was fit, Arteta preferred Kai Havertz over him.

Now with Viktor Gyokeres' signing this summer, the Brazilian is surplus to requirements for Arsenal and therefore they are open to selling him in the winter transfer window.
According to reports via TEAMtalk, Arsenal are willing to offload Jesus this January and have set a price tag of £30m ($40.4m) despite his current contract running until 2027.
Why are Everton showing interest in Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus?
Everton are reportedly leading the race to sign the 28-year-old striker as they desperately need a Premier League proven forward after the recent struggles of Beto and Thierno Barry.
While Jesus could be a great signing for Everton as he looks like a decent fit in David Moyes' system with the likes of Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall providing balls for him.
However, the only roadblock in this move seems like Jesus's hefty salary which Everton may not be ready to match.
But considering Jesus needs gametime to prove himself after returning from an ACL injury, he may settle for a lower salary only to showcase his skillset ahead of the World Cup next year.
Jesus has only featured in 96 appearances for the Gunners and has returned with 26 goals and 20 assists but never managed to cement his spot in the starting eleven.
Overall, a move in January looks imminent even if it's a loan deal to Everton as both parties will benefit from the move.
