Jack Wilshere sure Arsenal will complete £40m transfer due to Mikel Arteta friendship

Jack Wilshere claims Arsenal will complete the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City this summer due to Mikel Arteta's relationship with the player.

The Gunners want to sign a new striker and have identified the Brazil international as their top target. Eddie Nketiah, whose current deal runs out this month, has been offered a new contract, while Alexandre Lacazette has returned to Lyon on a free transfer.

Victor Osimhen, Lautaro Martinez and Richarlison have been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium but it is understood Jesus is at the top of Arsenal's list. City could allow the 25-year-old to leave the club following Erling Haaland's big-money arrival from Borussia Dortmund and it is understood they will demand a fee in the region of £40million.
