Edu told why Arsenal must reallocate £31m investment to fund dream Mikel Arteta striker transfer

Arsenal have been told why they mustn't allow the signing of Gabriel Jesus to fall into the hands of Chelsea in the upcoming transfer window. The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the Manchester City striker and technical director Edu has held talks with the player's representatives in recent months, football.london understand.

Mikel Arteta is in the market for a centre-forward this summer after allowing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join Barcelona during the January transfer window, while Alexandre Lacazette is also set to leave when his contract expires in the coming weeks. However, the west Londoners are also said to be interested in Jesus following Romelu Lukaku's disappointing return to Stamford Bridge.

As it stands, Arsenal have just Eddie Nketiah in the ranks ahead of next season. Despite having look set to leave the Emirates Stadium, the 23-year-old now reportedly looks set to sign a new deal.
