Real Madrid are plotting a huge summer bid to sign Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus, according to a new report, with Los Blancos president Florentino Perez said to be a big fan of the Brazilian.

Real currently possess the reigning Ballon d'Or winner, Karim Benzema, in their ranks - and the Frenchman continues to smash in the goals when available.

He has 18 goals in 28 appearances this season in all competitions, with 11 of those being scored in La Liga.

However, the 35-year-old has suffered with a number of minor injury problems this term, limiting his availabiity.

Carlo Ancelotti's side do have a reserve striker in their ranks in Dominican Republic international Mariano Diaz. However, the 29-year-old is rarely called upon by the Italian, with wingers Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior filling in at centre forward when Benzema is not available.

According to new reports, Perez wants to bring in a seasoned striker to compete with and play alongside Benzema next season - and it appears he will turn to Arsenal.

Real Madrid keen on Gabriel Jesus

According to Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Perez wants to sign three marquee players this summer - two midfielders and a striker.

It is claimed that the Real president sees Jesus as the 'ideal striker' for next season, given his performances at Arsenal and the fact that he can play on the wing, which are seen as major positives for Los Blancos.

Furthermore, it is said that Jesus is viewed as a player who can replace Benzema when necessary, and be able to play in a two-striker system if called upon.

And in a further potential blow to the Gunners and manager Mikel Arteta, Real are targeting the signing of Celta Vigo starlet Gabri Veiga, who has been linked with Arsenal in recent months.

Losing Jesus would be a major disappointment for Arteta, with the Brazilian having had a huge impact since arriving from Manchester City last summer.

He scored five goals and provided four assists in 14 Premier League appearances before suffering a knee injury at the World Cup in December, and played a key role in Arsenal's superb early-season form that maintained their position at the top of the table.

Now back from injury, Jesus will be looking to help the Gunners win the league title for the first time since 2004 - and supporters will be desperate for him to stay beyond the summer.
