Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to steal a lead in the race to sign Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.
That’s according to a recent report from Italian outlet TuttoJuve, who have claimed Antonio Conte’s Lilywhites have ‘presented’ the ‘first formal offer’ for the Citizens’ Brazilian striker. The outlet’s report claims Daniel Levy’s Londoners have made a £40m (€47m) bid.
Jesus, 25, joined Manchester City in 2017 following a £28.8m move from South American side Palmeiras.
During his first five years at the Etihad, the 25-year-old has grown to become one of the club’s most reliable and prolific forwards.
Boasting a decent goalscoring record that includes 58 Premier League goals, Jesus has consistently proven he is capable of competing at the highest level.
Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal or Spurs?
However, with just 12-months left on his deal with Pep Guardiola’s Citizens, as well as the impending arrival of world-class striker Erling Haaland, this summer sees Jesus forced to consider his long-term future.
Despite being heavily linked with a move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, it isn’t surprising to hear other clubs are beginning to show a strong interest in the talented Brazilian.
Discussing recently what this summer could have in store for him, the 25-year-old, as quoted by Metro, said: “I’m looking to see what’s best for me and above all, for my career. From Tuesday, we’ll see what is the best.”
When it comes to potential destinations though, with these latest reports suggesting Tottenham Hotspur have made the first move, if Arsenal are serious about luring one of England’s most highly-rated strikers to London, they will need to beat off their fiercest rivals.
why would he want to go to arsenal…they don’t have champions league or conte
Because Gabriel Jesus know with arsenal he can trophy but not Spurs
Its unlikely arsenal will make top 4 ever in the next 10 years, Man city, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Spurs are all stronger, also man utd and Newcastle will challenge how can they get top 4 I don’t see it happening at all
Seriously?? If Levy is honestly going to back Conte then signing players like Jesus isn’t the kind of player we need to sign. We should be signing players like Martinez, who supposedly we were going to sign in the summer, Levy knows how to talk but not deliver.
Well for me I don’t like bidding competition if Gabriel Jesus decide to join Tottenham is no big deal but I Will like Arsenal to be seriously interested for that Italian front man scarmacca he is very good he has height and pace he can force attack even if Arsenal succeeded in signing Gabriel Jesus they must as well bring him I watched him against Germany he was impressive very strong with Arsenal he will beat many attacker who wll cost more than him I don’t know why Arsenal business are always done in the media than real is that the fund is not there or is not yet released one thing I don’t like is panic buying a stitch in time saves nine Edu and Arteta over to you two.
Anything above 35 million for Jesus is too expensive
we already have Nketiah, seriously I don’t see any difference between them
Arsenal should keep that money for a wide forward
Like Gakpo, Gnabry
I personally do not see any Challenger for Martinelli at left wing role, cos ESR is no winger and we should stop killing his game by playing him there.
Or better still go all out and get Osimhen
50m for Jesus when we can add 35 to it and get Osimhen without stress
Please Spurs let the scum have him.
