Gabriel Jesus can get dream Arsenal shirt number if he seals £35m Man City summer transfer

Arsenal are on the lookout for at least one centre-forward this summer after allowing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join Barcelona during the January transfer window.

Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette are also into the final three months of their respective contracts with the club, meaning a plethora of strikers are being linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium. One of those is Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus and football.london understands that the Brazilian international is one of the names on technical director Edu's shortlist and the transfer chief has held talks with the player's representatives in recent times.

The 25-year-old could cost the north London club around £35million, football.london understands, and he would be able to wear his dream shirt number for Mikel Arteta's side if he does complete a summer switch. Upon arriving at City back in January 2017, Jesus requested to don the No.33 on his jersey, the same number he had worn throughout his time at Brazilian side Palmeiras.
