"I find it strange" - Pundit baffled after reports involving 94-goal Manchester City star

Letting Gabriel Jesus leave this summer would be a “strange” decision by Manchester City, according to ex-Premier League midfielder Carlton Palmer.

The £45m-rated Brazilian is City’s only senior striker at the club right now but he is being linked with a move to Arsenal in the next window.

It’s been an action-packed few days for the Manchester City striker, who followed up his four goals against Watford on Saturday by scoring his fifth in two games in the Champions League against Real Madrid earlier this week.

Despite his goalscoring spree, the 25-year-old is wanted by Arsenal this summer, according to The Athletic.

The report says that the Gunners are ‘exploring the possibility’ of bringing Jesus to the Emirates, with negotiations ongoing between technical director Edu and his representatives.

Jesus, who’s now scored 94 goals in a City shirt, would be open to linking up with Mikel Arteta’s side, with the potential arrival of Erling Haaland to the Etihad Stadium this summer likely to impact his decision.

But Jesus still got his fair share of opportunities while Sergio Aguero was still at the club, making 231 appearances in his five-and-a-half years as a City player.

Therefore, Palmer would find it odd for Guardiola to allow him to leave in the upcoming window.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “I find it strange that Manchester City would let him go. It would be an argument from Jesus that he would want to play more regular football.”

After all, City would be getting one of the top strikers in world football, and he
