Arsenal is considering selling Gabriel Jesus in the summer to raise funds for a new striker acquisition.
Arsenal could be open to the departure of Gabriel Jesus this summer, according to reports from The Athletic. The Brazilian striker’s position at the club is no longer secure, and Arsenal may look to sell him in order to raise funds for a new striker. Despite being under contract until 2027, Jesus’ future is uncertain, and the club would be willing to listen to offers for the 27-year-old. Eddie Nketiah is also at risk of being sold as Arsenal look to strengthen their attacking options.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are targeting a new forward in the summer transfer window. Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting are among the players linked with a move to Old Trafford. The club’s owner, Jim Ratcliffe, is focusing his attention on the transfer market, with manager Erik ten Hag’s future also uncertain. United are in a position where they need to sell before they can buy, due to the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules. Finding a striker may prove difficult, but Muller, Choupo-Moting, Serhou Guirassy, and Benjamin Sesko have all been previously linked with the club.
Brentford are preparing for the potential departure of Ivan Toney in the summer, with Manchester United reportedly interested in the striker. The Bees have identified Coventry City’s Ellis Simms as a potential replacement, with Bournemouth also eyeing up the player. Simms has impressed in the Championship this season and has attracted interest from at least two Premier League clubs. Brentford are likely to sell Toney, and Manchester United’s pursuit of the striker adds further weight to his potential departure.
West Ham are yet to offer new contracts to Aaron Cresswell and Angelo Ogbonna, with the club also undecided on their manager for next season. The veteran defenders are both out of contract this summer but would be open to extending their stay at the club. However, whether they receive new deals will depend on the managerial situation. David Moyes’ contract is set to expire, and the club is already considering potential replacements. Talks have been held with Ruben Amorim and Julen Lopetegui, while Paulo Fonseca and Hansi Flick are also on West Ham’s radar.
