While Arsenal will have to recompose their attacking landscape this summer, Mikel Arteta would like to attract Gabriel Jesus, the Manchester City striker, to the side of the Emirates Stadium.
A small revolution is preparing at Arsenal. Currently fifth in the Premier League, just before the reception of Manchester United this Saturday (1:30 p.m.) for the shock of the 34th day of the English championship, the Gunners intend to achieve their goal of top 4 in order to fully initiate the revival of the London club under the leadership of Mikel Arteta. Such a scenario would kill two birds with one stone.
Bringing the Champions League and its legendary anthem back to the Emirates Stadium would once again fill the hearts of London fans with happiness, but also settle them in a comfortable and attractive position for the summer transfer window of 2022. who awaits Mikel Arteta promises to be consistent. Alexandre Lacazette (30) and Eddie Nketiah (22), the only two professional centre-forwards at Arsenal, are both coming to the end of their contract next June, and everything suggests for the moment that they will fly to other skies.
Gabriel Jesus does not say no to Arsenal
Edu, the technical director, and the coach of Arsenal will therefore have to rack their brains to find the rare pearl(s). The Athletic announces in the sense that the Gunners are exploring the track leading to Gabriel Jesus (25). Discussions between the North London club and representatives of the Manchester City striker have been held for several months, and the idea of a move to the English capital would not displease the Brazilian international (54 caps, 18 goals), still according to the British media. It must be said that the situation of Gabriel Jesus is not ideal at the Etihad Stadium.
He is not one of the indisputable starters in the eyes of Pep Guardiola (16 starts in the Premier League this season), who no longer sees him as a scorer in the true sense of the term and is now moving to one side. The native of São Paulo, recruited by the Sky Blues in Palmeiras in 2016 for 32 M€, is today valued at 50 M€ by Transfermarkt. Gabriel Jesus, who scored 89 goals and delivered 45 assists in 229 appearances for City, also knows Mikel Arteta well from his time as an assistant with Cityzens, and Arsenal would hold the rope on this file. It remains to be seen who the Gunners will set their sights on, the tracks Dominic Calvert-Lewin or even Alexander Isak still remaining relevant.
