The Gunners began their Dubai Super Cup campaign with a comfortable success against Lyon in which several players made the case for more playing time.

Arteta changed his outfield XI completely in the second half, throwing on the Under-21s, and they performed well as they held on for the win against a far more experienced Lyon side and also came out on top in the penalty shootout. Eddie Nketiah's finish from Fabio Vieira's pass then doubled the lead before Vieira made it three with a superb strike from outside the box which picked out the top corner. A penalty shootout was held at the end of the game with an extra point on offer and Arsenal won that as well, with keeper Karl Hein keeping out four Lyon penalties as the Gunners edged it 2-1.

Every time Gabriel Jesus has gone to ground this season, Arsenal fans have watched on whilst holding their breath in the hope that he is okay.

However, similarly to Mudryk, Gakpo appears to be someone who will only get better and their next team will likely reap the benefits of their obvious talents. The 23-year-old, who can play through the middle as a centre forward or on either wing, would add versatility, pace and power to the Arsenal frontline. However, sporting director [Edu](https://www.football.london/all-about/edu) will soon have the chance to ease concerns when the winter transfer window opens in January. It ended about a week before the end of the transfer window and in that week I had to decide if I would go to Leeds or Southampton. [Arsenal](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/) deem it too early to put a timeframe on his recovery but confirmed that a rehab programme would begin immediately. “In the end, the deal didn’t go through. [Mykhaylo Mudryk heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium. “I was close to leaving, I spoke to Erik ten Hag a few times at Manchester United,” he said. It was confirmed that the 25-year-old’s [World Cup](https://www.football.london/all-about/world-cup) was over and that he would require surgery on his knee due to suspected ligament damage, potentially ruling him out for up to three months. ](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-mudryk-thuram-gakpo-transfer-25701814)Although he would not be a direct replacement for Jesus, the Ukrainian winger would certainly bring a much-needed goal threat after scoring 10 goals and providing eight assists in 18 appearances this season. [It is, without a doubt, a huge blow to Jesus - and his club ](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/arsenal-set-gabriel-jesus-injury-25702842)- who will be looking to maintain their strong start to the season when the Premier League gets back underway later this month.

Arsenal could stick or twist in the January transfer market after losing Gabriel Jesus to a knee injury.

Furthermore, even with Jesus is back fit and firing, Dzeko's quality would still be of use. This deal does, however, seem unlikely following the changes Arsenal have made to their transfer policy. However, what options are available in the January market and are there any intriguing opportunities that are worth pursuing? Arsenal supporters are desperate to see their side delve into the January transfer market in order to keep their Premier League title charge alive after losing attacking talisman Gabriel Jesus to injury. The World Cup quarter-finalist is not receiving the game time he craves in Catalonia and there is a bargain to be had for any team willing to throw their hat into the ring in January.

Jesus' injury means Nketiah will have to step up when the season resumes - and the early signs from Arsenal's trip to Dubai are encouraging.

There are things that we can try (if) we have the need to do so.” [Fabio Vieira](https://theathletic.com/football/player/fabio-vieira-FgNHmkTUv1GO03Gb/)’s goal (receiving a long ball under pressure on halfway before moving it on) sticks out but was not the sole example. Not only did he do this in midfield, but he was able to break forward with third-man runs up the inside channel to get into the final third. Looking at other individuals, Vieira took a little while to get a feel of the game but picked up and it was not a surprise that he provided an assist to go with his goal. Nketiah will have a crucial role to play for table-topping Arsenal in the second half of the season and he needs game time under his belt before the serious stuff gets going again.
