Former Man City and Liverpool star agrees with Paul Merson on decision Gabriel Jesus should make
Gabriel Jesus continues to be linked with a transfer from Manchester City to Arsenal but not all pundits think that would be a smart move for the Brazil international
Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus continues to be linked with a move to Arsenal.
Former Manchester City and Liverpool goalkeeper David James cannot understand why Gabriel Jesus is considering a move to Arsenal this summer.
As previously reported, the Gunners will target two centre-forwards. football.london understands that City striker Jesus and Roma frontman Tammy Abraham are among the shortlisted profiles who could arrive at Emirates Stadium. Jesus, in particular, remains open to leaving the current Premier League champions, with his representative reportedly holding talks with Edu throughout the past few months.
In November, Arsenal first made enquiries for Jesus, with Edu maintaining a close relationship with the player's agent and the City forward himself. There's been suggestions that Tottenham are also interested, although the Gunners are thought to have the upper hand in that particular battle, despite the fact Spurs qualified for the Champions League ahead of Mikel Arteta's side.
Nevertheless, James doesn't see how leaving the Premier League Champions can be a good move for the Brazilian, even after City agreed a deal for Erling Haaland.
“If you look at Man City players’ appearances this season, Bernardo Silva and Rodri have played 30-plus Premier League games, but all the players in that attacking line-up have played around 25 games, so they’re not playing every week," he told Genting Casino.
"Pep’s rotation has worked perfectly in the sense that they won the Premier League again. I’d imagine Haaland would fit into that mould, he’s not going to play every game. Also, with his injuries, there are question marks over whether he is physically capable of playing all the games.
