Report: Gabriel Jesus looks set to be Arsenal’s marquee signing

Gabriel Jesus is looking set to be Arsenal’s marquee signing this summer, that his future is set to be resolved in the coming days.

Jesus has been linked with a move to the Emirates for some time. Of course, he worked with Mikel Arteta while the Gunners boss was working at Manchester City.

Previous reports have claimed that the Brazilian has all but agreed personal terms. Meanwhile, Arsenal have made progress on agreeing a fee for the £51.5 million-rated forward.

However, fans may have been fearful that a deal may be about to slip through their grasp. Obviously, Arsenal have missed out on securing a return to the Champions League next season.

And to add insult to injury, Tottenham then joined the race for the 25-year-old.

But the good news for Arsenal is that Jesus still looks to be edging towards moving to the Emirates. .

He is looking set to be the club’s main addition in this window. His representatives meanwhile, are looking to sort his future this week.

Jesus set to be Arsenal’s marquee signing

Jesus seemingly recognises the opportunity he could have at Arsenal. He would be playing in the Europa League next year. But the Gunners are making real progress.

They have a young group with serious potential. And he is unlikely to be the only exciting addition to come in – if Arsenal get a deal across the line.

There is an opportunity for a striker to come in at Arsenal and turn themselves into a key man immediately.

Pep Guardiola said he is an ‘‘ forward. And it seems that he is still on course to end up at Arsenal.
