Arsenal reportedly remain confident in their efforts to secure the signing of Gabriel Jesus in the upcoming transfer window. The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the Manchester City striker, with Mikel Arteta in the market for a new striker following the departures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
football.london understand that technical director Edu has held talks with the 25-year-old's representatives in recent months. However, with the absence of Champions League qualification, Jesus has been reluctant to pen a deal at the Emirates Stadium which has left the door open for Chelsea, who are also said to be interested following Romelu Lukaku's disappointing return to Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal, who have a long-standing interest in the Brazil international are now set to schedule a new round of talks to a bid to 'reiterate' desire to sign Jesus, according to The Telegraph. Pep Guardiola's side are said to value their forward at £50million and the north London outfit are in fact 'confident' of completing a deal.
