Arsenal are prepared to double Gabriel Jesus' salary as they push to make the Manchester City forward their marquee signing this summer transfer window, according to reports.
Jesus, 25, has been on the Gunners' radar for many weeks as Mikel Arteta aims to bring in a new face in attack ahead of next season. The North Londoners have been light up front since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang departed for Barcelona in January.
Eddie Nketiah enjoyed a fine end to the 2021/22 campaign and is expected to sign a new contract, but Alexandre Lacazette will leave the Emirates at the expiry of his deal at the end of June. This would leave Arsenal with only one senior centre-forward ahead of a season during which they will also compete in the Europa League, so the need for a new recruit is pressing.
