Arsenal ready to move for Man City attacker Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel Jesus could be allowed to depart the Etihad to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

Arsenal are planning to move for Manchester City attacker Gabriel Jesus.

According to The Sun, Gunners are stepping up their pursuit of a Brazilian forward. The 25-year-old is in impressive form and looking to win the Premier League title this season.

Jesus could be allowed to depart the Etihad to avoid losing him on a free transfer with his contract to expire in 2023.

Man City is signing Erling Haaland this summer so ultimately, Pep Guardiola would prefer the Dortmund striker over Jesus.

Haaland has already passed his medical, and club will soon make an announcement. It has been added that Jesus has agreed on personal terms over a switch to link up with Arsenal.

Brazilian journalist Andre Hernan has stated that talks are at an advanced stage. While talking on the BTS show on YouTube channel Camisa 21, he said: “There’s this story of Gabriel Jesus leaving City and going to Arsenal.

“It’s real, it’s (talks) really happening. I think he’s a great player.

“I think he’s an extremely intelligent player in terms of tactics and I think he was very badly beaten in the cup.

“A guy Guardiola thinks he isn’t just any player.”

He added: “At Arsenal, maybe he becomes the protagonist. He gets there at a different stage.”
