Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are ‘quietly confident’ of signing Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, who has been offered to Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur, according to The Times.
The Times have reported that Manchester City striker Jesus has been offered to Tottenham.
However, according to the report, Tottenham’s bitter North London rivals Arsenal are ‘quietly confident of persuading’ the £110,000-a-week (The Sun) striker to move to the Emirates Stadium.
The report has added that the 25-year-old Brazil international striker wants to stay in the Premier League.
Earlier this week, TuttoJuve claimed interest from Tottenham in Jesus.
Arsenal have advantage over Tottenham Hotspur for Gabriel Jesus
In our view, Arsenal have the advantage over Tottenham Hotspur in the race for Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.
Now, of course, Spurs will play in the Champions League next season.
And Tottenham also have a world-class manager in Antonio Conte.
However, Tottenham also have one of the world’s best striker in Harry Kane.
And then there is Son Heung-min, a forward so good that Liverpool were considering a move for him.
However, at Arsenal, Jesus will get a better chance of playing regularly.
Alexandre Lacazette has left Arsenal, and even if Eddie Nketiah stays, the Gunners will need at least one top-quality striker.
