Arsenal are currently the favourites to sign Gabriel Jesus and the Man City striker is open to the move, according to reports.
The Gunners will look to strengthen their attacking options in the summer transfer window with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah set to leave the club on free transfers.
Mikel Arteta would therefore only have current wide forwards Gabriel Martinelli and Nicolas Pepe as central options, and The Athletic therefore claim the north London side are exploring the possibility of signing the 25-year-old Brazilian.
The report claims Arsenal technical director Edu has been holding talks with the Brazil international's representatives for a number of months, while boss Arteta worked with him in his previous role at the Etihad Stadium.
