Gabriel Jesus will pick Arsenal over Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and other interested clubs this summer, according to reports.
The Manchester City centre forward has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium and it is believed the Gunners are the front runners to secure his signature.
With the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette having already departed the club, Arsenal are left with just Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun, who is likely to head out on another loan spell for the season.

After a failed attempt to sign Dusan Vlahovic in the January transfer window, Mikel Arteta and Edu are hard at work to ensure they have the right squad for the season.
That appears to be beginning with Jesus, who according to former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell, has three main reasons why he will pick Arsenal.
“Manchester City want good money because he’s young, fit and he’s a Brazil international," Campbell told the Highbury Squad. "You could say he’s world-class. He starts for Brazil.

"He’s the best pressing striker out there and that’s what Mikel Arteta needs – he’s one of the key pieces that we need.
"Jesus can go and play Champions League football. But he wants to come to Arsenal, one because he knows the manager, two because he knows the system and three, which is the most important thing, he wants to be the main man."
The Gunners have also been heavily linked with a move to sign Leicester City's Youri Tielemans, and Arteta is reportedly confident the move will be completed this summer.
