Gabriel Jesus discouraged to sign for Arsenal this summer

Arsenal is in dire need of a ruthless striker this summer.

The Gunners would be shopping this summer for a centre-forward with Gabriel Jesus currently on top of their wishlist.

The Brazilian forward is expected to leave Etihad in the summer following the arrivals of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez which will push down the pecking order.

Former England goalkeeper David James discourages Gabriel Jesus from joining Arsenal as he believes he could win more trophies with Guardiola’s side.

James said to The Sun: “Pep’s (Guardiola) rotation has worked perfectly in the sense that they won the Premier League again. I’d imagine Haaland would fit into that mould, he’s not going to play every game.

“Also with his injuries there are question marks over whether he is physically capable of playing all the games.

“Jesus will have a shared role if he stays at Man City. They aren’t going to buy Haaland and start him every game, so there is still room for Jesus.

“Why would he want to leave? You’re at the best team in England over the past five years, so would he risk it by moving somewhere else to Arsenal, who aren’t even in the Champions League?”
