GABRIEL JESUS’ untimely injury could be the pathway for Manchester City to sign Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez in January.
Fans took to social media to claim that Pep Guardiola will surely move for the Chilean ace after the Brazilian international left the Selhurst Park pitch in tears.
The 20-year-old was replaced by Sergio Aguero in the 23rd minute against Crystal Palace after he fell awkwardly when chasing the ball.
His injury leaves the ex-Atletico Madrid ace as the only striker at Guardiola‘s disposal, following the summer sales of Kelechi Iheanacho and Nolito.
And Jesus will now be praying his injury forces him to miss the World Cup in the summer after cementing himself as a key man in Brazil’s national side.
He has banged in seven goals in 13 caps, with six of his strikes coming in World Cup qualification.
And Jesus has been equally as important for City this season, netting ten times in all competitions.
This has led supporters believing that the Premier League leaders will surely go back in for Sanchez after being foiled in their attempts to sign him in the summer.
