Arsenal have been chasing Gabriel Jesus since the final weeks of last season, as Mikel Arteta looks to enhance Arsenal’s firepower. The Gunners may have been given a breakthrough for the Brazilian thanks to an old transfer target.
According to Italian news outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport, Chelsea are ready to sanction Romelu Lukaku’s move to Inter. But Chelsea are also exploring the possibility of bringing a player in from Inter as part of the deal and are keen on signing one of three players - Martinez, Lukaku's former strike partner, Milan Skriniar and Alessandro Bastoni.
With Chelsea open to selling Lukaku despite signing him for £100m last year, it means that they would have to find a replacement. Jesus could have certainly been a possibility but a swap deal with Martinez would give Arsenal a major boost as there would be less competition for the Brazilian.
