Arsenal have been dealt a setback in their bid to land Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus this summer.
The Gunners have made their pursuit of the striker rather clear as Mikel Arteta looks to improve his front line.
Arsenal need more at the top end of the pitch after cutting Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang free back in January, while also losing Alexandre Lacazette this summer.
City star Jesus has been identified as target number one, expected to leave the Etihad Stadium following the arrival of Erling Haaland this summer.
According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal have already made an offer worth £30million, but they have fallen short with that attempt.
City are said to want as much as £50million, but the Gunners are still said to be confident of pulling off a deal.
According to the report, Arsenal are hoping add-ons will help get them to where they need to be to pull off a deal for Jesus this summer.

If they can pull it off, there’s no doubting that the Gunners will look a much stronger prospect heading into a season where they will return to Europe.
And they also managed to tie Eddie Nketiah down to a new contract on Friday in another big boost.
If Arsenal are serious about signing Jesus they need to stop taking the mickey and make a serious bid.
Is man city not being greedy for a player that his contract just remain one year and his replacement is already bought they are still demanding 50 million pounds which is almost what they bought Haaland if so Arsenal can go for Victor Osimihen than buying who your fellow premiership club are selling and you said you want to compete with them even if you manage to beat them in games it is an upset let’s go for gold
i support your compliment, let us go for gold.
True, 50m is too much for jesus, almost the same price as haaland. If they ask for more than 30 we should go for other target like osimehn
25 years Jesus…. better go for the Osi, the hen gonna lay more eggs for us.
It’s better if Arsenal can go for Osimhen of Man City insist on the 50 million price which is almost the price of Hallaand from Deutmond
Osim is young and has more years to play fory beloved Arsenal
Though untested and inprovem in the Premier League, he has all it takes to be a prolific sticker.
Jesus is better than lukaku and pogba so 50m is not too much
