Transfer: Gabriel Jesus set to leave Arsenal

Napoli are interested in signing Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus, according to Sky Italia.

The Serie A team’s new manager, Massimiliano Allegri, has been a long-term admirer of the Brazilian.

Jesus and Allegri also share the same agent, Giovanni Branchini.

Branchini was spotted on Friday at Napoli’s pre-season training camp in Castel di Sangro.

A meeting could take place to further explore the possibility of Napoli signing Jesus from Arsenal.

If Napoli can find new clubs for Lorenzo Lucca, who spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest, or Romelu Lukaku, it would open the door for them to make a move.

Arsenal would demand around £18m for Jesus who has entered the final year of his deal.
