Gabriel Jesus would be 'open' to a move to Arsenal as the Gunners target the Manchester City striker.

The Gunners are on the lookout for a new striker this summer after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's exit to Barcelona in January, while Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette, who are both out of contract in the summer, are set to follow suit. That would leave the north Londoners with no recognised no.9s on their books which means it's a priority that they invest in their frontline in the upcoming window, possibly making multiple additions.

To that end, Jesus has emerged as a summer target for Mikel Arteta, according to The Athletic, with discussions between Arsenal's technical director Edu and Jesus's representatives ongoing for a number of months. The report states that the Gunners are the current favourites to recruit him given Arteta's relationship with Jesus previously working with him at City.

The 25-year-old is thought to be open to the prospect of joining Arsenal given his limited game-time this season which is likely to be hindered even further with the proposed arrival of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. Jesus’ current deal runs out in 2023, which means Pep Guardiola's men could look to cash in on the Brazilian to avoid the risk of him leaving for free the following summer, although negotiations are yet to begin between
