Palmeiras have reportedly identified Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus as their top target to replace exit-linked Flaco Lopez.
The 25-year-old Palmeiras striker has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.
Reports in Brazil suggest that Tottenham, Fulham and West Ham are all interested in signing Lopez.
The Brazilian side are open to selling the striker for around €40m, but will need a replacement lined up if he departs.
According to Palmeiras outlet Espirito de Porco, Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus tops the list of potential replacements.

The 28-year-old Brazil international has fallen down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta, with an exit from the Emirates this summer looking increasingly likely.
Jesus, who came through Palmeiras’ academy before moving to Europe, has previously hinted at his desire to one day return to his former club.
His current Arsenal deal runs until the summer of 2027.
