It was a painful moment when Tottenham qualified for the Champions League ahead of Arsenal despite the Gunners leading the way for the majority of the season. The immediate concern was not about missing out on the elite European tournament, but the impact to the Gunners’ summer plans.
However, this has quickly changed despite some early Antonio Conte classic recruitment. Arsenal have watched Ivan Perisic join the club to strengthen the attacking line, but the 33-year-old will experience Premier League football for the first time in his twilight years.
Gabriel Jesus was a player that was of interest to Tottenham however Arsenal moved swiftly and well ahead of the window to position themselves strongly for the Brazilian. With that, football.london understands that they will not make a bid for the player.
