As Mikel Arteta seeks to boost his alternatives up front for the upcoming season, the Gunners have been heavily linked with a bid to capture Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City this summer.
And reporter Romano had already provided an update about Arsenal’s interest in the 25-year-old attacker earlier in the week, claiming that the Gunners were in “very advanced” talks to sign the Brazilian.
The Manchester City forward is reportedly “still up for grabs,” according to the Italian journalist, and negotiations could take some time due to the enormity of the potential transfer.
In addition, Romano claimed that Arsenal are in talks to sign Raphinha from Leeds United this summer but are facing lots of competition for the Brazilian’s signature.
Posting on his personal Twitter account, Romano said:
“Arsenal and Man City, still working on Gabriel Jesus deal. Talks are also in progress on the player side – takes some time as it’s big deal, with key details now discussed.
“Arsenal are negotiating on both Gabriel and Raphinha deals, with a lot of competition on Leeds’ one.”
