Liverpool, Chelsea told to ‘bite Arsenal’s arm off’ for forward as Gunners ‘would be crazy’ to sell

Liverpool and Chelsea have been urged to “jump at the chance” to sign Gabriel Jesus if Arsenal are looking to offload him this summer.

The Gunners paid around £45m to sign Jesus from Premier League rivals Man City during the 2022 summer transfer window.

This transfer was viewed as a major coup but injuries have blighted Jesus and he’s been wasteful in front of goal as he has struggled to live up to expectations at the Emirates.

Summer signing Kai Havertz has moved ahead of Jesus and Eddie Nketiah in the pecking order at Arsenal to become Mikel Arteta’s first-choice forward.

Arsenal are likely to be in the market for a new striker this summer and it has been suggested that Jesus and/or Nketiah could be sold to facilitate a move for a signing.

“I think that would be crazy…”

Ex-Premier League defender Glen Johnson has explained why he thinks Liverpool and Chelsea should try to sign Jesus if he is made available.

“Yes, definitely,” Johnson said when asked if he thinks Liverpool should try to sign Jesus.
