Arsenal are close to sealing a deal for Man City Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus.
The North London club have been linked with Jesus for much of the summer so far, with Mikel Arteta looking to bolster his attack for the coming season.
Arsenal lost Alexandre Lacazette on a free transfer to Lyon, while they offloaded Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona in January.
The club is desperate to bring in some reinforcements up front and Jesus’ availability could see him reunite with his former boss at the Emirates.
City are holding out for around £50million, the report claims, and while Arsenal have only bid around £30m so far, they are expected to push their offer closer to City’s asking price.
Arteta and Jesus worked together at the Etihad when Arteta was Pep Guardiola’s assistant manager and have a good understanding.
There have also been fears Eddie Nketiah could walk out on his boyhood club – with his name being included on a list of players being released this summer.
