Arsenal's pursuit of a new striker to replace Alexandre Lacazette this summer may have taken a fresh twist with Chelsea said to be watching developments regarding Gabriel Jesus very closely.
The Manchester City striker is a top priority for Gunners manager Mikel Arteta as the club's technical director Edu has been in constant communication with the Brazil international's representatives since November with the view to getting a deal over the line ahead of the new season.
And despite the notion that Chelsea could throw a spanner into those plans, The Athletic have reported that Arsenal remain confident of landing their top target this summer. However, it has also been suggested that alternatives such as Sassuolo’s Gianluca Scamacca may have to be considered.
