Gabriel Jesus reacts to reports linking him to Arsenal

Man City star Gabriel Jesus has reacted to the reports that has linked him with moves to Arsenal as he said he is focused on the present and would let the speculations affect him.

This comes as the reports had earlier emerged that Arsenal made an approach to sign Jesus from Man City.

Arsenal are in the race for a new leading striker after selling Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona in January and have already held talks with the move for Jesus’ representatives over a potential summer move.

Jesus has seen his game time at Man City reduced as he struggled this season, starting just 17 times in the Premier League and just once in the Champions League.

However, after scoring four goals in Man City’s Premier League 5-1 win against Watford over the weekend, Jesus is adamant that his only focus is to finish the season on a high, starting with their Champions League tie with Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Speaking on reports linking him with a summer move to Arsenal, Jesus was quoted by Metro UK as saying: Not time to think about this.

“You expect me to say this and it’s true. Now is not the time to think about this, now is the best moment of the season.

“I want to enjoy it, keep focused on my teammates to fight for the Premier League. I have won with my teammates three times already so I know how it feels and I want to again.

“We have a tough game on Tuesday against Real Madrid, a tough opponent. That is my focus.”
