Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United are reportedly keeping tabs on the Brazilian attacker Igor Jesus.

According to a report from Fichajes, his performances for Botafogo and the Brazilian national team have caught the attention of the English clubs. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the near future.

The attacker is reportedly valued at around €35-40 million. Arsenal certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done and the North London club’s director of football Edu Gaspar has been following Jesus’ progress for a while.

Arsenal are hoping to sign him in 2025, and it remains to be seen whether they can succeed. Gabriel Jesus has been quite underwhelming and he has not been able to score goals consistently. Arsenal could certainly use more attacking reinforcements.

Meanwhile, Chelsea need more support in the attack as well. Nicolas Jackson has been quite underwhelming and Igor Jesus could prove to be an upgrade on the Chelsea attacker. They reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality and potential. He could justify the investment in the near future.
