Arsenal transfer target Gabriel Jesus has admitted that his future at Manchester City is still uncertain.
The Brazilian international has enjoyed a solid season at the Etihad Stadium, netting 13 goals and providing a further 12 assists across all competitions. However, he has been in and out of Pep Guardiola 's starting line-up and Erling Haaland's arrival at City means a fresh start for Jesus makes a lot of sense.
football.london understands that the Gunners are interested in signing the 25-year-old this summer whilst Tottenham Hotspur also admire the player, football.london reported last week. Arsenal technical director Edu has held talks with the player's representatives in recent times and the former Palmeiras frontman has not spoken out about his plans for next season.

"About my future, it’s still uncertain," Jesus told ESPN Brazil. "I have a contract with City and I have already expressed my desire to the City people and to my agent.
"I have in my head very clear what I want. Today, I want to celebrate a lot with City.
"It’s obvious that I’m very happy here. Tomorrow, if everything goes well for me, my wife and our family, Helena [his daughter] will come to the world.
"So, I have to take advantage of this moment. Then, think about the team, smile at the team again.
"And, on vacation, I decide about my future."
Brazilian outlet Globo have also reported that Jesus’ preference would be to stay in the Premier League, naming Arsenal as is his ‘most likely’ destination. However, it was Spurs that pipped their local rivals to fourth place in the Premier League, meaning the Gunners will be without UEFA Champions League football next term, something that could make it harder to attract players in the this summer's transfer window.
