Pep Guardiola has already assured Eddie Nketiah over Arsenal striker concerns

Arsenal will not be deterred in their pursuit of Gabriel Jesus despite Eddie Nketiah committing his future to the Gunners.

The 23-year-old's contract was due to expire this summer but the forward has now signed a new long-term deal with the club. He and Gabriel Martinelli are the only natural No 9s in north London following the departures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

It leaves them light in the final third with Nketiah and Martinelli, whilst being talented, lacking in experience. As a result Mikel Arteta is eyeing more firepower with Jesus seemingly their No 1 target with his days at Manchester City potentially numbered following the arrival of Erling Haaland.
