With Gabriel Jeju's injury, Arsenal needed Lee Kang-in more.

Arsenal officially announced on the club's website on the 15th (Korea Standard Time) that "Jeju's test confirmed that he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee."

Since joining the club from Manchester City, Jeju Island has been active in various positions but has not displayed good performance since then, but has revived by scoring a hat trick at the English Football League Cup against Crystal Palace. He also scored two goals in the Premier League match against Palace and a goal at the match against Brentford.

In a different performance, Jeju suffered an injury in the round of 64 at the English FA Cup in the 2024-25 season against Manchester United. Coach Mikel Arteta said after the match, "I'm very worried. Jeju is in pain after touching their knees. It looks like the situation is not good. I hurt my knee again in 2022, but I think it's the other knee."

David Onstein, a reporter for the British 'The Athletic', said, "Arnal has not won in three games, and the problem of decision-making is getting serious after Bukayo Saka was injured. In the meantime, Jeju's injury in the match against Manchester United will be absent for a long time due to the rupture of the cruciate ligament. It is not the right side, but the left cruciate ligament, which was operated on in 2022."

He added. "Jeju is not looking good at all. I'm worried because doctors are planning more checkups. I'm very worried, but the season out has not been decided yet," Erteta told a news conference ahead of the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur, making his injury official.

"The rise of Jeju Island is a big blow to Arsenal. The need to sign for the winter transfer window will intensify," the British newspaper Mirror said. "Due to concerns over long absence of Jeju Island, Arsenal could have a chance to sign for the winter transfer window. Benjamin Seschko and Nico Williams are mentioned as potential targets." Rafael Leão, Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman are also Arsenal's targets. 메이저사이트

Lee Kang-in is also targeting Arsenal. "Lee Kang-in is the player that Arsenal are aiming for. Lee, who has been steadily playing under Enrique, wants a new challenge. Lee is a well-known player even to Arsenal, but his price is too high. If PSG agrees to a full transfer after loan, Arsenal will also move on," he said.

In addition to Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle United, and Nottingham Forest also want to recruit Lee Kang-in. Arsenal, who have become more urgent due to the injury to Jeju Island, can actively seek to recruit Lee Kang-in. "We are looking into the transfer market to improve the squad. We have been doing that since day one. We will look at the situation we are in and see what we can do," Arteta said.

For now, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) does not seem to have any intention of sending it. As Khvicha Kvaratshelia has been recruited, PSG's judgment may change in the future.
