Ex-Arsenal captain Gilberto backing move for Man City striker Gabriel Jesus

Former Arsenal captain Gilberto Silva is backing their move for Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus.

Gilberto says the deal can be good for all paries.

He said: "If he goes to Arsenal, I do believe it's going to be a good move for him, also for Arsenal."

Jesus has one year left on his contract with City but will be wary of diminishing opportunities when Erling Haaland arrives ahead of next season.

The Brazilian striker has been heavily linked with Arsenal, and could be a key player in a team that lacked a focal point up-front last season.
