Arsenal make massive contract offer to Man City striker Gabriel Jesus

Arsnal are making a massive contract offer to unsettled Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.

The Daily Mail says Arsenal are prepared to double Gabriel Jesus' wage at Manchester City in a bid to lure him to North London, according to reports.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from the Etihad this summer after Erling Haaland signed for Pep Guardiola's side last month.

Manchester City are reportedly ready to speak to Gabriel Jesus' representatives in the coming days while the striker is on international duty.

The Gunners have placed Jesus firmly at the top of their summer wish list having waved goodbye to both strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in 2022.

Manager Mikel Arteta is believed to have held an excellent working relationship with the 25-year-old during his time as assistant boss at the Etihad and both parties are reportedly keen on a deal.

Arsenal have already held initial talks with his agent Marcelo Pettinati but have since enhanced their offer following interest from other European clubs.
