Arsenal should 'go and buy Gabriel Jesus', insists Rio Ferdinand as he suggests Manchester City man could be answer to their striker shortage

Rio Ferdinand has suggested that Arsenal should 'go and buy' Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus in the summer.

The Brazilian forward has been out of action since January with an injury but recently returned to the City setup for wins over Everton and Peterborough but his place in the starting XI is far from assured.

Jesus was initially signed by City as a striker but has since transitioned into a versatile winger that can play anywhere across the front three. However, Pep Guardiola has often preferred to play the likes of Jack Grealish and Phil Foden as his No 9, with Jesus often pushed out wide.
