Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham have all been given a boost in their attempts to sign Gabriel Jesus this summer, due to regulations that have restricted Real Madrid. All three London clubs have been heavily linked with the Brazilian, who looks set to leave Manchester City.
The 25-year-old only has one year remaining on his contract at the Etihad, while the arrivals of Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland only adds to the speculation over his future. For Arsenal, it comes after a season where they lacked a consistent goalscorer, which played a part in the side missing out on a top four finish.
On the priority this summer, Mikel Arteta said: “He puts the ball in the net – that’s priority number one. Goal threat. Any successful team needs enough goal threat in the squad. Without it, you have nothing.”
