As Arsenal search for a striker this summer, Gabriel Jesus continues to be the main man linked. Now that Alexandre Lacazette has confirmed that he will be leaving the club when his deal expires at the end of this month, the Gunners need someone else in to compete with Eddie Nketiah who is thought to be closing in on a long-term contract extension.
At just 25-years-of-age and with the ideal tactical profile for what Mikel Arteta wants in a number nine it would appear that Jesus fits the bill perfectly for what is needed at the Emirates. football.london understands that Edu has been in talks with the Brazil international's representatives over a move since November, and the player is now set to make a decision on his future this month.
Centre forward, however, is not the only position where Arsenal are expecting to look to recruit this summer though. Midfield is also set to be high on the agenda. As the Gunners seek to find players capable of helping them breach the gap to the Champions League sides, one of Jesus' Manchester City teammates, may be the perfect man for the job.
