Former Manchester City defender Danny Mills believes that Arsenal should swoop in for Gabriel Jesus in the summer. The Gunners have been linked with a move for the Brazilian, with Mikel Arteta reportedly interested in reuniting with the striker.
Speaking to Football Insider, Mills was asked about Jesus' rumoured links to Arsenal. He stated that with Manchester City having signed Erling Haaland, the striker would be wise to leave the club and that the Gunners will need to make him feel important for him to join them. He said:
"With Haaland coming in, Jesus is going to be on the periphery. There’s an opportunity for someone to come in and get him quick and get the deal done. A lot of this will not be about money, it will be about a club making him feel wanted."

“The one that gets in the first and says ‘Right Ok, you’re our man, we’re desperate for you, let’s get the deal done’ will make him feel loved. Sometimes that’s all you want as a player.
