Marina Granovskaia must hijack £45m Arsenal transfer to gift new Chelsea owners perfect signing

Chelsea transfer chief Marina Granovskaia should look to hijack Arsenal's interest in Gabriel Jesus in the summer transfer window. The 25-year-old, who remains open to leaving Manchester City, has been shortlisted by Mikel Arteta's side, football.london understands.

The Brazil international's representatives have held talks with the Gunners' transfer chief Edu over the past few months. And, with a shrewd proposition potentially on the table, Thomas Tuchel's side should look to engineer a deal of their own in a bid to secure the dynamic forward's signature.

Jesus, who sees his current contract at the Etihad expire next summer, has been excellent for Pep Guardiola this season despite his often bit-part role. The £45m-rated Brazilian, as valued by Transfermarkt, has featured 35 times for City this season, but has averaged just 59.3 minutes a game.
