Gabriel Jesus speaks out after Arsenal hold talks to sign Manchester City striker

Gabriel Jesus insists he will not be distracted by speculation regarding his future after Arsenal made an approach to sign the Manchester City forward.

The 25-year-old has struggled for playing time this season, starting just 17 times in the Premier League and just once in the Champions League so far.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are searching for a new leading striker after failing to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the January transfer window and have already made a move for Jesus.

Reports have claimed that Arsenal have held talks with the Brazil international’s representatives and the forward is open to joining Mikel Arteta’s side this summer.

But after scoring four of City’s goals in their 5-1 win over Watford on Saturday, Jesus is adamant that his only focus is to finish the campaign on a high.

‘Not time to think about this,’ said Jesus.

‘You expect me to say this and it’s true. Not time to think about this, now is the best moment of the season.

‘I want to enjoy it, keep focussed on my teammates to fight for the Premier League. I’ve won with my teammates three times already so I know how it feels and I want to again.

‘We have a tough game on Tuesday against Real Madrid, a tough opponent. That’s my focus.’
