Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has been linked with a move away from the North London club, with Flamengo and Everton interested in him.
Gabriel Jesus has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal, and he needs to move on to play regularly. Premier League side Everton are interested in securing his signature. Meanwhile, clubs from Brazil, including Flamengo, are keeping tabs on him as well.
According to a report by Gazeta Do Urubu, Flamengo want to sign the former Manchester City attacker, but his £30 million asking price will be an issue for them. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal are prepared to reduce their demands for the player.
The North London club will look to get rid of Gabriel Jesus as soon as possible. The 28-year-old is not a key player for them, but he is on premium wages. It would make sense for Arsenal to sell the player and bring in someone who can help them improve.
Meanwhile, Everton certainly have the financial muscle to pay the asking price for him. It will be interesting to see if the Brazilian international wants to continue in the Premier League and join Everton.
Returning to his homeland could be an attractive opportunity for him at this stage of his career as well. The player has proven himself in the Premier League with Manchester City in the past, and there is no doubt that he would improve Everton and Flamengo. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
Arsenal need to sell Jesus
If Arsenal manage to recoup £30 million from Gabriel Jesus’s departure, it would be a sensational bit of business for them. Arsenal have already signed Viktor Gyokeres this past summer, and he is their first-choice striker.
Jesus should look to move on to get his career back on track. He will need to choose his next destination carefully. The Brazilian international will not want to sit on the bench again, and he should look to join a club where he will get game-time assurances.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are pushing for the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League. They are among the favourites to win both competitions this season after a remarkable transfer window. Getting rid of their fringe players in January, and signing quality replacements will only strengthen their case.
