Arsenal are unsure if they should move forward with a £55 million transfer agreement with Manchester City for Gabriel Jesus.

City boss Pep Guardiola would prefer to keep Jesus but will not stand in the striker's way if he pushes to leave.

Jesus' agent Marcelo Pettinati confirmed to the Guardian last week that talks had taken place and "we like the project" but also that there were six clubs in the frame.

Mikel Arteta is a huge admirer of the player having worked with him at City but Arsenal are looking at other options including Paulo Dybala, who will leave Juventus on a free transfer at the end of the season.
