Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have made Gabriel Jesus and Tammy Abraham as their top two targets in the summer transfer window, according to The Express.
The report has claimed that Arsenal want to sign Brazil international striker Jesus from Manchester City as well as England international striker Abraham from AS Roma.
Defending Premier League champions Manchester City will reportedly offload the 25-year-old at the end of the season.
Boost for Arsenal in Gabriel Jesus chase
In our opinion, Manchester City reportedly willing to sell Gabriel Jesus is a boost to Arsenal’s chances of signing the Brazil international in the summer transfer window.
Reports have claimed that Arsenal Technical Director Edu have been trying to get the transfer done for months.
And it seems that City will let the striker leave this summer.
Now, of course, the defending Premier League champions are not going to simply give away the Brazilian.
City will want a decent transfer fee for a striker who is only 25 and has his best years ahead of him.
However, Arsenal will find negotiations easier if City are willing to do business.
Jesus has scored 57 goals in 155 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The striker can also play as a wide-forward, and that versatility would only help Arsenal.
