Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing a bold move that could bring serious competition to Dominic Solanke’s position in attack, with suggestions that the club could pursue Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus before the transfer window closes.
While Thomas Frank’s side have already made waves in the market, turning the loan deals of Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel into permanent ones and securing the high-profile signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, there could be more to come.
The club’s strategy also includes grooming several promising youth prospects to strengthen their squad depth and maintain their Champions League qualification streak, following last season’s Europa League triumph.
Amid this ambitious rebuilding, Jesus, the former Manchester City forward, has emerged as a potential addition.
According to CaughtOffside, the Brazilian has been exploring opportunities to leave Arsenal this summer, but a transfer has yet to materialize.
Now, GiveMeSport reported that Spurs are “keeping tabs” on the £265,000-a-week attacker as they seek to reinforce their forward line.
With fierce competition at the Emirates Stadium, Jesus currently finds himself behind new arrival Viktor Gyokeres, signed after a protracted move from Sporting and Kai Havertz, who remains in contention despite injury setbacks earlier in the year.
As Jesus slips down the pecking order, he has reportedly attracted attention from clubs across Europe.
While many of these sides are said to be waiting until he regains full fitness before making any concrete offers, a January move appears more likely.
Nevertheless, a shock transfer across north London to Spurs hasn’t been dismissed entirely, especially with the lure of Champions League football potentially swaying the Brazilian’s decision.
