Arsenal closing in on Jesus

The report says Brazilian forward wants to join Arsenal, despite🉐 the💙 fact that they missed out on Champions League football.

And Mikel Arteta has made the man he knows well from his time at City his priority striking target goin𒁃g into the summer.

Eddie Nketiah will be the backup hitman for Jesus as Arsenal look to improve their goalscoring woes which plagued the🌄m last term.

Jesus really would be a fantastic signing for Arsenal. The 25-year-old, branded as ‘incredible’ by Pep Guardiola, is perfect for Arteta’s system.

Alexandre Lacazette has now vacated the nu🍌mber nine jersey and given that is the one Jesus wears at City, it is easy to see him taking over that slot.

The recent international fixtures💧 may ⛄have slowed the momentum of transfer talks, but it seems Arsenal have pushed ahead with their Jesus pursuit.

That is seemingly about to bear fruit, with Arteta getting t✅he top choice of number nine he wants.
