Everton are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus this summer.
The 29-year-old Brazilian is among the players who could leave the Emirates before the start of next season.
With Arsenal expected to strengthen their attacking options this summer, Jesus’ chances of regular first-team football are likely to be limited.
Several European clubs have already been linked with a move for the Arsenal forward, including Serie A giants AC Milan and Juventus.

What happens next?
Arsenal are set to step up their plans as the summer transfer window now officially open, with the club continuing to hold internal discussions over potential targets. Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta are both believed to be actively assessing several options as preparations for next season continue behind the scenes.
The Gunners are expected to be among the busiest Premier League clubs this summer, with several positions under review. Any move will ultimately depend on availability, financial conditions and how Arsenal prioritise their targets during the transfer window.
The bigger picture
Arsenal’s recruitment team continues to focus on players who fit the club’s long-term strategy under Mikel Arteta. Technical quality, tactical intelligence and versatility remain key attributes as the club assesses potential additions ahead of the new campaign.
The club has consistently looked to add players capable of improving both the starting XI and overall squad depth, particularly with the demands of competing in the Premier League and Champions League. Arsenal are expected to strengthen multiple areas of the squad this summer and continue to monitor opportunities across Europe and South America.
Arsenal are expected to make several important decisions regarding the composition of the squad this summer. While strengthening key areas remains a priority, the club could also consider offers for certain players if it helps fund new arrivals and maintain financial flexibility.

Securing the futures of key players remains just as important as making new signings. Arsenal have worked hard to build one of the strongest squads in Europe, and maintaining stability within the group will be crucial as the club looks to continue competing for major honours.
Our View
Gabriel Jesus’ situation is one worth monitoring closely this summer. While the Brazilian forward remains an important member of the Arsenal squad, the reality is that every squad evolves over time and difficult decisions sometimes have to be made. Previous reports have stated that Arsenal want at least £20m to sell Jesus this summer.

Should a significant offer arrive, Arsenal may at least be forced to consider their options, particularly if it could help fund reinforcements elsewhere in the squad. Arsenal are in the transfer market for attacking reinforcements ahead of next season, with Morgan Rogers, Bradley Barcola and Julian Alvarez among the names being linked with potential summer moves to the Emirates.
Arsenal are also working on a deal to sign Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis.
