Arsenal are ready to move for Manchester City attacker Gabriel Jesus.

The Sun says the Gunners are stepping up their pursuit of Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus.

The 25-year-old could be allowed to depart the Etihad to avoid losing him on a free transfer with his contract to expire in 2023.

Meanwhile his game time under Pep Guardiola will be limited with City set to complete the signing of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

Haaland is understood to have already passed his medical, with an announcement on the transfer expected this week.

It has been said that Jesus has all-but agreed personal terms over a switch to link up with Arsenal.

Should he join Arsenal, he would be reunited with Mikel Arteta, who he worked with at City when the Spaniard was Guardiola's No2.

Commenting on the potential deal, Brazilian journalist Andre Hernan has stated that talks are at an advanced stage, with negotiations "really happening".

Speaking on the BTS show on YouTube channel Camisa 21, he remarked: "There's this story of Gabriel Jesus leaving City and going to Arsenal.

"It's real, it's (talks) really happening. I think he's a great player.

"I think he's an extremely intelligent player in terms of tactics and I think he was very badly beaten in the cup.

"A guy Guardiola thinks he isn't just any player."

He added: "At Arsenal, maybe he becomes the protagonist. He gets there at a different stage."
