Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he has no plans to sell striker Gabriel Jesus and thinks the Brazilian could earn a place in his starting XI.
The 28-year-old has been out all year with a serious knee injury but is back in contention for the Gunners.
Arteta signed Viktor Gyokeres in the summer, Mikel Merino has done an excellent job filling in up front and Kai Havertz is also due to return.
But Arteta wants to keep the former Manchester City man.
He said: “We know his quality, he has given us so much. If he comes with the quality he did the other day then he is certainly a player that has to be pushing and aiming for that [to start up front].
“I don’t consider [selling him], especially with the situation we have right now.
“Gabby has a lot to offer to the team, he proved that straight away in the first minutes he was available to play. He put so much to be in this position again. Now the focus is for him to be with us.”
Leaders Arsenal face Wolves on Saturday, who are yet to win all season and lie bottom of the Premier League with just two points.
Arteta said: “You can get beaten in any Premier League match and especially against a team that is fighting for results. I know the manager well and how he will push his players. We know what we have to do.
“In the end you are going to have to get over 90 points to win it [the title], that means winning a lot of football matches.”
