According to a report via the Daily Mirror, Arsenal has now offered Manchester City a bid of €50m for Gabriel Jesus in an attempt to sign the forward.

Mikel Arteta has always been a keen admirer of the 25-year-old Brazilian attacker who has rediscovered his best form again for Manchester City.

Jesus recently scored 4 goals against Watford in the league and has a total of 13 goals this season but is widely expected to leave the Etihad Stadium following the signing of Erling Haaland by the Citizens.

Arsenal midfielder agreement leaked

Meanwhile, after a successful end to the season with Arsenal, Mohamed Elneny appears to be on the verge of signing a new contract.

According to Football London, after revealing the player had agreed to a new contract, a member of the Egyptian national team technical crew tweeted and hastily erased a congratulations message to the midfielder.

Although the 29-year-old has only appeared in 11 Premier League games this season, Mikel Arteta has started each of Arsenal's last four games, all of which have ended in triumph.

Gabriel Jesus remains silent over Arsenal move

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Gabriel Jesus has remained non-committal over his future. Jesus has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal in recent days.

The Brazilian said that it's not the time to think about a potential move, insisting he is focused on finishing the season on a high.

Jesus was on fire over the weekend as he grabbed four goals against relegation candidate Watford. He assisted another goal as City won 5-1 to maintain their charge for the Premier League title.
