MANCHESTER CITY striker Gabriel Jesus reportedly only has eyes for Arsenal as he looks to be reunited with Mikel Arteta.
That is the view of Gunners icon Kevin Campbell who believes that the 25-year-old will snub a move to North London rivals Tottenham.
Arsenal are understood to be desperate to sign Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus
Spurs look set to beat Arsenal in two of their transfer races this summer, with Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma poised for a medical after a £25million deal was agreed.
And Antonio Conte’s side are also closing in on a £20m move for Middlesbrough right-back Djed Spence.
Arsenal fans have been fearing the worst that Jesus could reject a move to the Emirates in favour of Tottenham, who can offer him Champions League football.
Chelsea and Real Madrid have also been linked with the Brazilian, who is keen to depart the Etihad.

The ex-Palmeiras ace believes he will struggle for minutes next season following the arrival of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.
And the signing of Julian Alvarez from River Plate could see Jesus fall further down the pecking order.
All signs point towards a swift exit, with Campbell, who won the league at Highbury in 1991, confident it will be his former employers who secure his services.
Speaking on the Highbury Squad YouTube channel, he said: “Manchester City want good money because he’s young, fit and he’s a Brazil international.

“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.”
SunSport understands that Arsenal are prepared to almost double his wages should he decide to join their project.
Along with Jesus, Arsenal are also desperate to snap up Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans, with a transfer to be potentially wrapped up by the end of June.
