Mikel Arteta identifies "exceptional" Gabriel Jesus replacement after transfer U-turn

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reportedly monitoring Barcelona forward Ferran Torres - less than six months after the Gunners failed in a last-gasp £26million swoop for the former Manchester City star.

Torres only sealed a dream move to the Nou Camp last January after the Spanish giants stumped up £47.5million to prise the Spanish international away from the Etihad. But that didn't deter the Gunners from launching an audacious bid to lure Torres back to the Premier League in the summer transfer window.

While Barcelona rebuffed that approach, Torres is still very much on Arsenal's radar - and they could rekindle their attempts to snap up the versatile forward now that Gabriel Jesus could be sidelined for three months.
