Arsenal's World Cup audition for MLS star fails amid Stan Kroenke's third transfer proposal

Arsenal reportedly sent scouts to watch FC Dallas forward Jesus Ferreira. The youngster started his first-ever World Cup match with the USA national team on Saturday afternoon against Holland alongside Gunners goalkeeper Matt Turner.

This has been even more emphasised in the last few days as football.london understands Gabriel Jesus had to withdraw from the Brazil World Cup squad after suffering a knee injury, and this could he’ll be out of action when club football returns.

However, Ferreira had a disappointing performance against Louis Van Gaal’s side. This was highlighted by the fact that he was substituted at half-time as he struggled to impose his presence amongst Holland’s backline.
