Barcelona’s summer recruitment will see one player gain more consistent playing time. Diario Sport reports that Gabriel Jesus is the player in question.

Jesus joined Barcelona from Premier League champions Arsenal late in the transfer window. He has since appeared twice, once in La Liga and once in the Champions League, both as a substitute.

In his Champions League debut against Feyenoord, Jesus scored shortly after coming on, with a header.

Recent media reports suggest that manager Hansi Flick plans to give the 29-year-old more opportunities as Barcelona navigates its busy schedule before the international break.

Sport’s report states: “The plan is for Gabriel Jesus to have more prominence as the games go by.”

Translation:

Barcelona’s summer signing is set to have ‘more prominence’ in upcoming fixtures.

One of the players brought in during Barcelona’s summer signings is expected to get more consistent minutes going forward.

This is according to Diario Sport, which identifies Gabriel Jesus as the player.

Striker Jesus moved to Barcelona from Premier League winners Arsenal early last week. He has since played in two matches, one in La Liga and one in the Champions League, both as a substitute.

In the Champions League game against Feyenoord, Jesus scored his first goal for Barcelona minutes after entering the pitch, with a well-placed header.

If this weekend’s media reports are accurate, the 29-year-old will receive further chances from Hansi Flick.

According to Sport, with Barcelona facing a busy schedule before the international break:

“The plan is for Gabriel Jesus to have more prominence as the games go by.”
