Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly keen on signing 27-year-old Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus in the summer transfer window.
A report from Fichajes has claimed that the Juventus are hoping to sign Gabriel Jesus in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal are prepared to sanction his departure.
Jesus has not been at his best this season, and he will need to raise his performance levels. The 27-year-old striker has scored just four goals in the Premier League, and Arsenal need better players at their disposal if they want to win major trophies.
If Arsenal end up signing a new striker in the summer, it will not be surprising if they decide to sell the former Manchester City player. Gabriel Jesus has never been a poacher in his career, especially since joining Arsenal in a £45 million deal. But he is an impressive attacker who can slot into multiple roles and contribute with goals as well as creativity.
The 27-year-old could prove to be a quality addition for Juventus, and he could form a quality partnership with Dusan Vlahovic at the Serie A club. With a target man leading the attack, Jesus can contribute creatively and link up with his teammates in the role of a secondary forward.
He is likely to be available for a reasonable price given his form this season, and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can sort out an agreement. The 64-cap Brazilian international is at the peak of his powers, and a move to Italy could be an attractive option for him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Arsenal eyeing a new striker
Arsenal have been linked with players like Viktor Gyokeres in recent weeks. The Swedish international is a better goalscorer compared to Jesus, and he is likely to cost a premium. Arsenal will need to raise funds in order to afford him and selling Jesus could be ideal.
The Swedish international will want to play regularly if he moves to Arsenal, and Gabriel Jesus will not want to sit on the bench at the North London club. Moving away in the summer might be ideal for all parties. Juventus are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them could be quite tempting.
