Rio Ferdinand has no doubt Gabriel Jesus would be a fruitful addition to the Arsenal attack as the Gunners weigh up a summer transfer for the Manchester City forward.
Reports late last week claimed manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu harbour serious interest in the Brazilian, 25, and have been in contact with his representatives for some months. Jesus has been in and out of the City starting XI this season and his contract will expire in the summer of 2023.
However, he sent a timely reminder of his quality on Saturday when he scored four goals and assisted the other in a 5-1 thrashing of Watford in the Premier League. Jesus may well be the goalscorer Arsenal have sorely lacked throughout the second half of the season with Alexandre Lacazette struggling to fill the void left by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who joined Barcelona in January.
