Mikel Arteta handed Gabriel Jesus boost after Serge Gnabry snub paves way for £55m Arsenal deal

Speaking to Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano in recent weeks, Gabriel Jesus' agent said that although Arsenal's project is liked, six other clubs were showing an interest in his client. Tottenham and Juventus have since been linked with the Brazilian international, but now it's Real Madrid's name doing the rounds.

Jesus is one of several players who have been offered to the Champions League winners in recent days and is 'being considered' after his agent contacted the La Liga side, a report from Cadena Ser via Marca claims. It's added that, unlike other proposals, Jesus is liked by Carlo Ancelotti which could firm up interest.

However, former Arsenal player Serge Gnabry has already helped reveal Madrid's stance when it comes to signing new forwards this summer and its one that will no doubt please Mikel Arteta. That's because despite Gnabry looking increasingly likely to leave Bayern Munich following unsuccessful contract talks, Los Blancos are not interested in signing him and have shown no interest so far as they feel satisfied with Rodrygo and Marco Asensio.
