Arsenal could rely on Christopher Nkunku making a move to Chelsea to beat their London rivals in signing Gabriel Jesus this summer if recent reports are to be believed. It comes as both London clubs are linked with a move for the Manchester City forward.
For the Gunners, there is a need to strengthen in the forward department, having lacked a consistent goal-scoring centre-forward throughout the previous campaign. With Alexandre Lacazette leaving for Lyon too, it leaves space to be filled in that department.
Discussing his transfer plans, 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.”
