Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain are said to have surrendered the lead to Arsenal in the race to sign Gabriel Jesus this summer. The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium following his decision to part ways with Manchester City.
football.london understands that Jesus is open to leaving the reigning Premier League champions, with his representatives having already held talks with Edu in recent months. The north London outfit are believed to be confident in their mission to sign the Brazil international, despite interest from some of Europe's leading sides.
While Arsenal aren't laden with Champions League football next season - unlike their rivals Spurs and PSG - the Gunners are reportedly leading the race to sign Jesus. And, according to Fabrizio Romano via German outlet wettfreunde, it has been the north London side's persistence which has seen competition for the Brazilian retract.
