Arsenal ‘HOPING’ to complete Madrid deal – Arsenal want Bundesliga star – Jesus makes stunning Arsenal admission

Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news and gossip from icfootballnews that we think you guys may have missed –

Gabriel Jesus has admitted he had serious doubts over joining the club from Manchester City and has admitted that Edu and Mikel Arteta convinced him to make the move to Arsenal

After the signing of Erling Haaland last summer – Gabriel Jesus made the massive decision to leave the reigning Premier League Champions in search of regular football, as he did not want to be behind the big striker at the Etihad.

And the Brazilian completed a £45million move from the Etihad to the Emirates last summer, despite interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea.

He has been massive for the Gunners this season – despite being out for three months with a serious injury – and will be a massive player for Mikel Arteta to have at the back end of the campaign.

Now though, Jesus has admitted that he had doubts over joining the Gunners but a conversation with Edu, as well as his relationship with Arteta, was enough to talk him round.

‘I had a very good and important chat with Edu,’ said Jesus.

‘I was in doubt (about signing).

‘But, after I talked to him (Edu) and Mikel (Arteta) and the job was done.’

We could see why it may have taken some convincing for the Brazilian to make a move to the Emirates – nobody could have expected them to even challenge for a top four spot, never mind a Premier League title.

But he will be a massive player for Arsenal now that he is back and should help the Gunners regain that title for the first time since 2024, which is a crazy thing to say.

ARSENAL KEEN ON BAKU-

ARSENAL are reportedly keen on signing Wolfsburg full-back Ridle Baku next season according to journalist Christian Falk via Caughtoffside.

Mikel Arteta is enjoying life at Arsenal right now, his side are playing some of the best football that they have in years, fans are loving the fact they are top of the Premier League and on course to win their first title since 2004.

However – that has not stopped all the rumours and all the speculation about what players will be signed at the end of the season – and it looks like they are now interested in a potential deal for on Baku.

The North London side will face competition from Chelsea and Villarreal in the transfer market as per the journalist who said, “Ridle Baku of Wolfsburg got the call from Arsenal.

‘The Gunners are interested in the German player who can play right-back and right-wing. But they’re not alone in their interest, as Chelsea made a call themselves during the winter window. Villarreal also want to make a bid this summer.”

There are not too many ARSENAL fans that care about new signings right now – all they are focused on is supporting their side for the rest of the season.

Baku is a very gifted young man that we are sure could add some much needed depth to the side – and for the right money – he could be a bargain.

It should be an interesting summer for the Gunners, especially as there are many players that will be attracted by the style of football they are playing right now.

EDU HOPING TO SIGN DIAZ –

ARSENAL are reportedly hoping to sign Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz, who has been shining on loan at AC Milan.

Italian journalist Carlo Pellegatti said: “The Milan management would like to keep Brahim Diaz, they would like to start a negotiation as if he were a new signing, forgetting the option to buy and buy-back.

“Milan start at 16 million, but there is another variable: it seems that Arteta, the current Arsenal manager, likes the player a lot.

“The Gunners could offer 30 million. In this case the negotiation would become complicated. There are many variables, but Milan would like to keep him.”
