Arsenal have reached an agreement with Manchester City over Gabriel Jesus as they look to sign their first-choice striker target this summer.

The Brazilian is one of the top names on Mikel Arteta's wish list after he made signing a striker a priority over the transfer window. The losses of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have left the Gunners light up front.

A number of players had been linked including Victor Osimhen, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tammy Abraham but Jesus was always the main priority. Arteta knows the player well from his time as Pep Guardiola's assistant coach.

And according to The Athletic, an agreement has finally been reached with City over a fee for Jesus for £45million. Chelsea had also been interested in the 25-year-old, though it is believed that their prime target is Raheem Sterling.

Tottenham were linked with the forward but never looked too keen on the player with Antonio Conte targeting other areas of his squad over up front - where Harry Kane looks set to stay. The two north London teams look the most active in the transfer window so far after Yves Bissouma was signed from Brighton.

Jesus now looks on course to become the fourth arrival at the Emirates after Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Fabio Vieira. Arteta is still keen on another striker but will be over the moon if he can land his top target.

The former Palmeiras star is keen to leave City this summer after the signings of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez. Both are set to nudge Jesus further down the pecking order.

He only has one year left on his contract - which means that the Premier League champions either had to sell this summer or risk losing him for nothing next year. Guardiola did not want to let Jesus go despite the situation.

The Brazil international signed for City in 2016 and has gone on to make 159 appearances in the Premier League. During that time, he has scored 58 times and provided 32 assists - winning four titles.

What is this. Arsenal about to land a top transfer target? Wonders.

This Jesus can perform no miracles

Okay

Na

Not a great deal at that price!
They could have gone for Osimhen, Onuachu or scout better ballers from South America

City are getting back some £ they spent for Halland

Nice

Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!
Really thought we would sign him after offloading that fat big idiiot to Inter!


What is Boehly doing?


Bring back ROMAN!!!!!!

If only Jesus will be the answer to Arsenal woes

May God remove every spirit of backwardness in the life of those that will gather here

If the youths are wise, this is what they should do to make sure Obi becomes the next president of Nigeria.

A

Wrong move if you ask me

Jesus- Oshimen- Saka
Jesu christi

This guy is not exceptional na Dem martial category

Meanwhile what the hell is wrong with manutd and the glazers na only dejong dey market

I wanted to condemn the signing, then I remembered my team (Man u) is still struggling to sign even a spoon. Presently, even if Aiyegbeni decide to return to football, we will still struggle to sign him

Arsenal has the best scout no doubt, but the management is demm stingy, they won't spend much buying a player, they enjoy mediocrity so much, for arsenal, the business is keep securing the bag regardless how bad the team is, arsenal remains one of the clubs in England with a very low debt rate, they have got good economic team, but they fail to understand that buying players and building strong team bring even more money to the club.
