Arsenal news: Gunners get 'better' deal than Tottenham as Juventus eye signing

At this point, Arsenal supporters have a pretty well-formed idea of what shape their summer transfer window will take.

A deal for Gabriel Jesus to arrive from Manchester City is done and the Brazilian will add a crucial focal point to Mikel Arteta's attack. He follows Fabio Vieira through the door, with the former Porto playmaker tipped to add even more creativity to what is already a vibrant attack.

But the Gunners are not intent on stopping there it would appear, with links lingering over possible pursuits of other attackers, including Leeds United winger Raphinha.

Mirror Sport has all of the latest Arsenal news.

With Jesus and Vieira added, is this Arsenal squad capable of pushing for the top four? Let us know in the comments section below!

Arsenal get 'better' deal than Spurs

Former Chelsea and Republic of Ireland star Tony Cascarino believes Arsenal have got the better of Tottenham in the transfer market with the signing of Jesus.

On Friday, Spurs completed a £60 million move for Brazil international Richarlison from Everton. With him and Jesus vying for a spot in the starting XI for the Selecao ahead of the World Cup this winter, the rivalry should be intense in the coming months.

But before the duo have even kicked a ball for their two new clubs, Cascarino has made his prediction and believes the Gunners have secured the savvier signing.

"I think Gabriel Jesus ticks a lot more boxes and they’ve got him at a better price," he said. "If you said to me now who will get the most goals, I’d say Gabriel Jesus would get more goals than Richarlison for Tottenham. And he’s more versatile than Richarlison. Gabriel Jesus has played left wing right-wing and centre forward for Man City."

Gabriel interest from Juventus

According to reports in Italy, should Juventus sell Matthijs de Ligt to Chelsea, then they will target Gabriel Magalhaes as a replacement.

De Ligt is said to be keen on making a move to the Premier League, with the Blues and Manchester United both reported to be long-term admirers of his. Chelsea have reportedly had an offer rejected already - £20 million, plus Timo Werner.

But with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leaving Stamford Bridge, it's anticipated that they will make another approach for the defender.

Any interest in Gabriel is unlikely to be welcomed by the Gunners, as the Brazilian impressed last season in partnership with £50million acquisition Ben White.

Arsenal in danger of missing more key targets

Although there has been initial excitement at Arsenal following some encouraging transfer activity this summer, the club actually seem to be in danger of missing out on some key targets.

Leeds winger Raphinha was said to be on the Gunners' radar, although he looks increasingly likely to join either Chelsea or Barcelona. Meanwhile, Manchester United are said to have made their move to sign Lisandro Martinez, with a bid near £40 million on the table from the Red Devils.

In January, the Gunners also made an unsuccessful pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic, with the Serbia international striker opting to join Juventus instead of the Premier League outfit. It means Arteta and sporting director Edu may need to put the extra graft in if they are to get some more inspired transfers over the line before the window closes.
