Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is on the radar of clubs like Juventus and AC Milan.
According to a report from Calciomercato, the two Italian clubs are hoping to sign the Arsenal striker and he will cost around €20 million. The player has been outstanding since his return from injury. He is in spectacular form and he has established himself as a key player for Arsenal in recent weeks. It will be interesting to see if the Gunners are willing to sanction his departure.
It seems highly unlikely that any move will happen in January. The two Italian clubs might have to wait until the summer transfer window in order to get the deal done.
Juventus need to bring in a quality striker. Jonathan David has not been able to live up to expectations, and they need to replace him. Jesus could prove to be an upgrade on the Canadian international. He has proven himself in the Premier League with Manchester City and Arsenal. There is no doubt that he has the technical attributes for Italian football. He could be an asset for Juventus. The player is at the peak of his career and he could prove to be a quality short-term acquisition for them. Jesus has won several major trophies throughout his playing career and his winning experience could prove to be invaluable for Juventus.
Meanwhile, AC Milan could use more depth in the attacking unit as well. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the Brazilian to join the club. It is fair to assume that both Italian clubs have the financial resources to pay €20 million for the Arsenal striker. He could prove to be a bargain at that price.
Arsenal signed Viktor Gyökeres at the start of the season, but the Swedish international has not been able to live up to expectations. He has failed to find the back of the net regularly and Arsenal need another reliable attacker. Jesus has done well to fill that void. If they decide to let the Brazilian leave the club, they must sign a quality replacement.
