Arsenal News Transfer: The names Gabriel Jesus and Raphinha are at the core of almost all of the recent rumours and reports about player transfers involving Arsenal.
There have been rumours that Arsenal has made an offer for the winger Raphinha who plays for Leeds United. But it seems that Jesus will be moving to the Emirates Stadium.
Following many weeks of rumours and conjecture, Fabrizio Romano claims that the Gunners have reached a verbal deal with Manchester City to purchase the Brazil international player. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
To put everything into perspective, this activity began far before the 2021–22 campaign came to an end.
On the other hand, it would seem that Jesus to Arsenal is getting a great deal closer to being a reality presently.
Arsenal News Transfer: Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal is done?
Jones said in a podcast that Arteta is attempting to create a miniature version of Manchester City in North London. Arteta worked with Pep Guardiola – and the South American striker himself – at the Etihad Stadium for several years. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
And that Arteta believes that Jesus has the necessary qualities as well as the mindset to lead Arsenal to the Champions League.
In an interview on The Football Terrace podcast, he shared his thoughts, saying, “I believe Jesus is going to be the most exciting one, the greatest gamechanger. Raphinha is wonderful, but having him is not a guarantee that the required standard will be met. The bridge that leads to the Champions League is the one that Arsenal is now working to construct. At the moment, what Arteta is working on is creating a replica of what they have at Manchester City.
That group lacks the attitude and the true quality. But the only way to remedy that is to add players with the talent to play in the Champions League. They need the mindset to play in the Champions League. Gabriel Jesus would check that box.”
According to the Spanish news outlet AS, Tottenham are certain that they can persuade Jesus to join them. They are confident that they can add him, rather than Arsenal and turn down a trade to the latter.
On the other hand, the Romano development of the verbal agreement is the more recent one. It is this one that seems to be more plausible at this level of the game. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
Will Gabriel Jesus fit Arsenal?
At the beginning of June, Jesus expressed his desire to transfer to the Emirates. The only thing that has stood in the way of this happening so far has been the disparity in values between both teams.
Jesus longs to get back together with Mikel Arteta. The Arsenal boss, in his previous role as Pep Guardiola’s assistant coach, used to provide frequent one-on-one instruction and guidance to Jesus.
The intensity of Arsenal’s pursuit, the fact that they are in dire need of an attacker in his mould, and the possibility that Jesus may be given greater responsibility all appeal to him as reasons to join Arsenal. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
After the expiration of Alexandre Lacazette’s contract and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s departure to Barcelona, Arteta is now without a senior striker on their roster.
