Arsenal ready to double Jesus' wages 

 
UK press reports stated that Arsenal is reportedly ready to try to lure Gabriel Jesus to the Emirates Stadium by offering him a huge improvement on his current wages at Manchester City , in an attempt to lure him to north London .The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from the Etihad this summer after Erling Haaland signed for Pep Guardiola's side last month. Manchester City is reportedly ready to speak to Jesus' representatives in the coming days while the striker is on international duty.
The Gunners have placed Jesus firmly at the top of their summer wish list having waved goodbye to both strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in 2022. 
Manager Mikel Arteta is believed to have held an excellent working relationship with the 25-year-old during his time as assistant boss at the Etihad and both parties are reportedly keen on a deal. 
Arsenal has already held initial talks with his agent Marcelo Pettinati but has since enhanced their offer following interest from other European clubs, according to The Sun.
Therefore, having seen Jesus attract interest from sides in Serie A and La Liga, the North London club reportedly stepped up their salary package to £190,000 per week plus bonuses in a bid to coax the striker.
The deal would see him earn a significant increase on his £110,00-a-week wage at Manchester City.
And, whilst Arsenal cannot offer Jesus Champions League football, they can all but promise him a regular first-team spot as the central striker at the Emirates - a role he has become accustomed to sharing under Pep Guardiola.
Jesus only featured in 28 Premier League matches for City last campaign, his lowest total in a full season since arriving in Manchester for £28 million.
