Arsenal eye surprise swoop for Jesus Navas

Arsenal have been reportedly linked with shock move for Manchester City attacker Jesus Navas.

The Gunners are currently short in midfield following injuries to the likes of Francis Coquelin, Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla over the past week.

According to Italian outlet Tuttomercato, manager Arsene Wenger will look to solve the club's injury crisis by bringing a couple of reinforcements in January.

The report adds that the Frenchman is considering a deal for Navas who is deemed a firm favourite for City boss Manuel Pellegrini.

Navas has made over 100 appearances for the Citizens following his switch from Sevilla in 2013.
