Arsenal warned transfer of 'instinctive' ace could be scuppered despite Erling Haaland choice

Arsenal are in the market for a new star striker this summer and Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus is the latest to join the list of candidates. But the Gunners have now been warned that Pep Guardiola will likely want to keep the Brazilian, even if they complete the signing of Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian has reportedly agreed terms with the reigning Premier League champions ahead of his £63 million release clause becoming active in the summer transfer window. It is a move that would see Jesus's game time limited even further and given his past relationship with Mikel Arteta, a switch to the Emirates could make sense.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left for Barcelona during the January transfer window while Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette are expected to leave on free transfers in the summer. So the Gunners have been left with a lack of marksmen but Arteta has now been told that Jesus may not be the answer to his problems after all.
