Arsenal manager Arteta ‘very surprised’ at Jesus blast over Barcelona move

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed surprise at recent public criticism from former forward Gabriel Jesus regarding his departure from the club. Jesus, who ended a four-year stint with the Gunners to join Barcelona in September, claimed he was forced to train alone and received no information prior to the transfer.

Arteta addressed the claims, stating he was very surprised by the player's assertions that he was mishandled during the exit process. The controversy centers on differing accounts of Jesus's final days at the club leading up to his move to the Spanish side.
