Arsenal are preparing to table a £35m bid for Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus, according to a report.
The 25-year-old's future at the Etihad Stadium has recently come into question, with the Gunners allegedly keen to recruit the Brazil international this summer.
Mikel Arteta is on the lookout for attacking reinforcements ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, with both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah out of contract in June.
According to the Daily Express, Arsenal made their first enquiry regarding the availability of Jesus back in November last year, and they are now set to lodge a £35m bid in an attempt to lure the forward to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
Jesus, who has less than 15 months remaining on his current contract, recently refused to rule out a potential exit from the Etihad, but Pep Guardiola has suggested that he would like to keep the Brazilian, insisting that he is still a Man City player.
Barcelona and Juventus have also been credited with an interest in signing Jesus, who has recorded 12 goals and 12 assists in 36 appearances for the Citizens across all competitions this season. body check tags ::
