Arsenal handed boost in signing Gabriel Jesus?

Arsenal have been handed a boost in signing Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus during the summer transfer window.

The Brazilian ended the 2021/22 season on a high note with 13 goals and 12 assists from 41 appearances in all competitions.

He is now eyeing a fresh challenge elsewhere as his playing time could be hampered by Erling Haaland's arrival next term.

The Gunners have been in regular contact with his agent, and there is optimism that they can sign him even without Champions League football.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that Tottenham Hotspur made contact for Jesus, but there has not been a positive response from the player's end.

The 25-year-old seems more convinced by the project under manager Mikel Arteta. A summer move to the Emirates is a realistic possibility.

The Gunners are aiming to sign more than one striker this summer, but their plans could change if Eddie Nketiah decides to continue next term.

The club graduate bagged five goals from the last eight league games, but he has yet to renew his contract which expires at the end of the June.
