Gabriel Jesus’ transfer to Arsenal is edging closer as The Daily Mail reports that his agent is flying into the UK this week to get him a new club.
Arsenal is the favourites to sign the Brazilian who is leaving Manchester City after five years.
The Citizens have brought in new attackers, but they want a huge transfer fee before selling him so that they can spend on their other targets.
Arsenal has already made an initial bid of £35m plus add-ons, but it was rejected by City who wants more money.
The Gunners are expected to return with an improved offer now that his representatives are coming to get him a new club.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Jesus will be an exciting addition to our attack, and the Brazilian has done well enough to deserve a chance to be the key man at the Emirates.
He hasn’t been given enough chances to prove his worth at City, but he should enjoy that at Arsenal.
But we must not be too confident in our chances of signing him because he has other suitors and his agent could take him to another club.
However, his previous experience working with Mikel Arteta could prompt him to pick a move to the Emirates over his other options.

WATCH THE TRANSFER SHOW – Alfie and Rob ask “Who is Lisandro Martinez?”
Good indeed
35M is way too much money for a player surplus to requirements and has 1 year left on his contract. If spurs are interested, Arsenal should let them pay and have the player. We should look somewhere else.
35M was rejected….if it happens it will likely be in the 40M-50M range
Then we should just drop the idea altogether. He is a good player but not 1 who could be a great striker for us
If they will take like 40 is OK but apart from that my own is .NO.
Let’s hope sanity prevails in all this, and no one is frustrated at the end.
Frustration is a contractual obligation if you are an Arsenal fan.
Links to top players that never materialise. So many “turning of corners” in our form on the pitch.
Its all part and parcel of it 🙂
I hope Arteta know how to use him, otherwise he is not better than edie for me
I think if we spend £40m on Gabriel Jesus is not too much and I believe we are gonna gain it back because I believe Gabriel will perform as a sharp striker
No other smoke around any other strikers, so Jesus it is.
Successfull additions of jesus,raphinha,tielemans and martinez is gonna perfectly design us for a comfortable top 4 finish and UEL tittle winning,COYG.
When Arsenal is signing a player, it becomes a whole story, airport, living room, bathroom and friends all comes in the newa
I’m not here to pile on, as I do think that GJ is a talented player, but anyone who thinks that we’re going to make considerable inroads against those above us by keeping Xhaka, doubling-down on the MA’s piss-poor tactics and acquiring/re-upping a bunch of diminutive players, who don’t address our most pressing concerns, is rather delusional, in my estimation
TRVL-4ever…spot on, again.
I hope arsenal there going to sign two more players this summer
