Arsenal 'are ready to DOUBLE Gabriel Jesus' salary to £200,000 to persuade the Man City forward to join the Gunners' despite missing out on the top four... 'with Emirates chiefs already holding talks with his agent'

Arsenal are prepared to double Gabriel Jesus' wage at Manchester City in a bid to lure him to North London, according to reports.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from the Etihad this summer after Erling Haaland signed for Pep Guardiola's side last month.

Manchester City are reportedly ready to speak to Jesus' representatives in the coming days while the striker is on international duty.

Gabriel Jesus has been at the Etihad since his u00a328 million move to Manchester City in 2017

The Gunners have placed Jesus firmly at the top of their summer wish list having waved goodbye to both strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in 2022.
