Arsenal stopped Brazilian media asking technical director Edu about the club's interest in Gabriel Jesus, according to reports in the South American country.
The Brazil international has emerged as a target for the Gunners, who face uncertainty over the future of out-of-contract duo Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah. The former Palmeiras man scored four goals on Saturday to help City stay top of the Premier League with a victory over Watford, but has suggested now is not the time to respond to speculation.
Former Arsenal midfielder Edu, who has been in his technical director role since 2019, spoke to his country's media ahead of the London side's weekend victory over Manchester United. However, it has been suggested that any questions about Jesus were off-limits.
