Gabriel Jesus prefers to remain in the Premier League as the Arsenal forward considers his future amid interest from two English clubs.
According to Diario AS, Everton and Ipswich Town have both made contact with Arsenal regarding the Brazilian, while negotiations with Napoli have failed to reach an agreement.
Jesus is understood to favour remaining in England as he looks to continue his pursuit of becoming the highest-scoring Brazilian in Premier League history.

The Arsenal forward is currently just three goals behind Roberto Firmino on the all-time list, giving him another motivation to remain in the competition rather than pursue a move abroad.
Interest from Everton and Ipswich could therefore provide Jesus with an opportunity to remain in the Premier League should Arsenal decide to part ways with the 29-year-old this summer.
The Brazilian has endured a difficult period at Arsenal in recent seasons, with injuries affecting his availability and limiting his involvement under Mikel Arteta.
Jesus joined the Gunners from Manchester City in 2022 and initially made a strong impact in north London, scoring five goals in his first nine Premier League appearances for the club.
However, injuries have subsequently disrupted his progress, including a serious knee injury which kept him out for a significant period.

Arsenal’s attacking options have also changed considerably during Jesus’ time at the club, increasing uncertainty over his position in Arteta’s squad.
The latest update suggests that a move to Napoli will not happen after negotiations between the Italian club and Arsenal failed to come to fruition.
Instead, Jesus could have the opportunity to continue his career in the Premier League, with Everton and Ipswich having already made contact regarding his availability.
His preference to remain in England could now play an important role in determining his next move.
For Arsenal, the situation could provide an opportunity to move on from a player who has struggled to maintain regular fitness while also allowing Jesus to pursue his personal target of overtaking Firmino as the highest-scoring Brazilian in Premier League history.
With interest developing from within England and his preference understood to be staying in the Premier League, Jesus’ Arsenal future is likely to remain one to watch as the transfer window progresses.
