While the Gunners interest in Jesus was already confirmed by his agent Marcelo Pettinati, The Telegraph now report that Spurs are also keen.

Pettinati also suggested that there are up to six clubs chasing the striker’s signature, with a departure from City likely following the signings of Erling Haaland and Julian Álvarez.

However, he did also admit Jesus’ interest in ‘the project’ at Arsenal, who are also in need of a striker this summer with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah’s contracts expiring.

The 25-year-old provided eight goals and eight assists to help the Cityzens defend their Premier League crown.
