Arsenal’s hopes have soured since Manchester City acquired Gabriel Magalh Jesus after offering a striker to Chelsea.
The Brazilian Mikel Arteta is a priority this summer, and ‘Metope’ has already laid an important base to beat the ‘City’ striker.
Arteta has an existing relationship with Jesus, who worked with him during his time at Etihad, and even if the goalkeeper fails to finish in the top four, Jesus is ready to move to Emirates.
Taxes appear to be the main hurdle, with Arsenal estimating Jesus at around £10m less than the city’s £50m.
However, according to the Telegraph, Citi is trying to pique interest in Jesus and is instead offering Chelsea a Brazilian player.
Thomas Tuchel has decided to sign the club and a new mobile striker this summer. The striker will move Lukaku within 12 months of his move to Stamford Bridge.
Of course, Jesus would have fitted the bill, but it is not yet clear if he prefers to move to Stamford Bridge rather than the Emirate.
Chelsea have the potential to beat Arsenal in terms of transfer value, but Jesus can offer Champions League football.
Jesუსs had 12 months to finish his contract with Etihad and reluctantly decided to leave the club after Erling Holland arrived from Dortmund.
