Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku transfer decision may scupper Mikel Arteta's planned £50m Arsenal deal

Arsenal’s transfer business could be seriously hampered by Chelsea’s decision-making in the summer window. The Gunners have been hot on the tail of Gabriel Jesus, but Romelu Lukaku could ruin Mikel Arteta’s chances of a dream deal.

According to Spanish news outlet AS, Chelsea have reportedly entered the race to sign Jesus in the summer transfer window after being offered a chance to land him. Real Madrid and Tottenham have also been offered an opportunity, according to the report.

However, it seems that Chelsea’s interest in the Brazilian will only be concrete if they manage to sell Lukaku, who has been tipped with a return to Inter Milan. Arsenal are in desperate need of a striker, and Jesus seems to be the Gunners’ main target, so this would be a major blow for Arteta.
