Arsenal will move for Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata should Tottenham successfully hijack their deal to sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.
Mirror Football reported on Monday that Spurs have emerged as serious challengers to their North London rivals to land the Brazilian forward. Jesus, 25, is at the top of Mikel Arteta’s shopping list as the Spaniard looks to fill the void left by Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gunners are understood to be close to the Premier League champions' £50million valuation of the Brazilian marksman.
However. Spurs, having pipped Arsenal to a top four spot and Champions League football, are now hopeful of beating their neighbours again to the signing of the City marksman, who has netted 95 times in six years at the Etihad. Antonio Conte’s side have already recruited Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and Fraser Foster this summer.
