Arsenal manager Arteta ‘very surprised’ at Jesus blast over Barcelona move
Gabriel Jesus claims he was forced to train alone before Barcelona move, but Arsenal 'surprised' by criticism.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said he was “very surprised” by Gabriel Jesus’s claim that he was forced to train alone and was given no information prior to joining Barcelona.
Jesus ended his four-year spell with the Gunners in September and has since made it clear he felt disappointed with the way his exit was handled.
The Brazilian striker said in an interview this week that “out of nowhere they put me to train apart from the group,” adding that “nobody told me nothing” before he signed for Barcelona.
Arteta also came under fire from former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, who recently said he was “uncomfortable” with what he perceived to be a lack of dialogue between the club and Gabriel Martinelli, who moved to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal on September 3.
