Micah Richards has urged Manchester City not to sell in-form Arsenal target, Gabriel Jesus.
The striker has been on the radar of the Gunners in the last few months, and he could leave City if they lure Erling Haaland to the club as expected.
He didn’t start this season well, but he has been prolific in the last few weeks as they look to add another Premier League title to their cabinet.
Arsenal needs new strikers after losing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and they could still be without Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette by the start of next season.
Former City man, Micah Richards, has, however, urged the Premier League champions to keep Jesus.
He said, as quoted by The Daily Mail: ‘With Man City, we always know they’ll create chances, it’s just about taking them. He was linked about potentially moving away, but if it was my decision, he wouldn’t be going anywhere because he’s a vital part of this team. ‘
Just Arsenal Opinion
Jesus has shown his qualities in the last few weeks, and we will enjoy him in his present form.
However, City is not a selling club, and his return to form could prompt them to change their minds about allowing him to leave the club.

Not a selling club but they sold Ferran Torres to Barca.
Every club sells for various reason
Well he’s a city legend,i don’t expect him to be happy with the move knowing jesus will strenghten us.
A lot of fans and followers of the beautiful game have a vague knowledge of the inner workings and relationship among coaches and players. If there’s anything to consider then the relationship between Arteta and his former boss is everything to give a thought. The two are from the same background and have the most cordial of relationships. If it was in Arteta and Edu’s plan to sign Jesus there’s nothing anybody can do about it. If Haarland should be consider higher than Jesus at Mancity, Jesus will not hesitate to move and don’t forget that he has worked with Arteta before and their relationship back then was super. Let’s all wait and see.
I will be VERY surprised if GJ does not come to us. I believe the deal is well under way and, if and probably when, City sign Haarland , it will be a near cert for us and Jesus.
All the signs are positive and it makes perfect sense. This is one rumour- among hhundreds of obvious false ones – that I CONFIDENTLY PREDICT TO HAPPEN.
