Finally: Arsenal finally have now overcome the hurdle of the two clubs, City and Liverpool, in the transfer pursuit of the £80m striker who scored 50 goals across all competitions last season; Arteta has okayed it as the first Arsenal signing by January – Congratulations Arsenal fans

Gabriel Jesus, the Brazilian forward of Arsenal, could feature in a major transfer deal-the mega transaction involving Juventus and Arsenal sees the American joining fingers with the Serbian striker-Dusan Vlahovic. As exposed by Spazio J, Juventus may be offered the signing of Gabriel Jesus in the competition for Dusan Vlahovic to move the other way to be given a chance by Arsenal to enjoy the services of the Brazilian. For both teams, on paper, the deal appears rational since Thiago Motta aims at a technical operator while expecting Arteta to provide goals.

Arsenal’s problems in finding the net as they approach the January transfer window have kicked off fan voices in support of signing a new striker ahead of the winter window. Some are pretty credible links to Newcastle United frontman Alexander Isak, and the overall run is that the Swede would fit like a glove into the new set up. Quite the opposite has been claimed for Gabriel Jesus, with the Magpies keeping an eye on those developments-Brazilian international may not have a long-term future at the Emirates.

Jesus has not been starting games yet this season, as Mikel Arteta decided to stick fully with Kai Havertz as the first-choice for his No.9 since the commencement of 2024. But it becomes clear that he definitely needs to look for a striker, if that weren’t enough, talk of Dusan Vlahovic comes up again.

Arsenal were predicted to have been interested considerably in the 24-year-old Serie A striker back then, January 2022, when he was about to be signed by Juventus. It actually seems that Arteta has not lost track of Vlahovic since, time and again, the Gunners would be linked to a move for the Bianconeri star.

Currently, Vlahovic’s contract ends in 2026, with sources also claiming that the signing of a fresh deal may create hassles with either of the parties involved. Thus, it may prompt Arsenal to offer Jesus for Dusan Vlahovic, but there lacks clarity on the probable deal. However, this would give the two managers a solution.

Juventus may consider selling Vlahovic, with Jesus as a prospective alternative. Reports have it that Juventus will set the price for Vlahovic at a whopping €70 million, though they still would like to attempt a renewal. According to news, Thiago Motta prefers a much more technical operator upfront, which makes a Jesus’ arrival apt for the Juventus manager. He also wants to check on Joshua Zirkzee, with whom he worked well at Bologna.

The mannerisms of Jesus’ play would fit how Juventus go about in terms of the attacking play, but the question lies, whether the 27-year-old is keen on going to Turin. On Vlahovic’s part, it is his salary demands that have already put a renewal in denial, although an interest from Arsenal this time round could be entertained by the 24-year-old Serie A striker.
