Kevin De Bruyne has stated the case for Gabriel Jesus to stay at Manchester City, with the 25-year-old striker reportedly set to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer. The Brazil international is said to be open to an exit and has a Premier League switch in his sights.
football.london understand that Arsenal technical director Edu has held talks with Jesus' representatives in recent months. However, with the absence of Champions League qualification, the Brazilian has been reluctant to pen a deal at the Emirates Stadium.
As a result, the door has been left open for Chelsea to make a move, who are said to have joined the race following Romelu Lukaku's disappointing return to Stamford Bridge. The Gunners, who have a long-standing interest in Jesus are now set to schedule a new round of talks in a bid to 'reiterate' their desire for his services, according to The Telegraph.
