Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are confident that they will sign Gabriel Jesus ahead of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer transfer window, according to AS.
Tottenham confident of signing Arsenal target Gabriel Jesus
AS have reported this afternoon Tottenham board made contact with the Manchester City striker’s entourage and have made an offer.
Now, according to the Spanish publication, that offer is less than the one from Arsenal, who have made the best proposal to the Brazil international striker.
Chelsea are also reportedly keen on the 25-year-old.
AS have added that Tottenham believe that they have a good chance of convincing Jesus to move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium because of UEFA Champions League football next season.
Arsenal ended up fifth in the Premier League last season and will play in the Europa League.
Where to next for the Manchester City star?
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur could miss out on the signing of Gabriel Jesus to bitter North London rivals Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
Yes, Tottenham will play in the UEFA Champions League next season, but there is no guarantee that they will be in the competition year after year.
Arsenal need to sign at least two quality strikers, and Jesus would know that he would walk into the Gunners’ first team.
As for Tottenham, Harry Kane is the number one striker, and there is also Son Heung-min banging in the goals for fun.
