Everton Considers Signing Arsenal Striker

Everton Football Club is eyeing Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, an Arsenal player, as one of its targets in the upcoming transfer window, aiming to enhance its attacking options with the experience of a player who has a notable record in the English Premier League.

According to what was reported by 'Football Insider', Everton's management sees Jesus as an important addition to the team, but they do not intend to pay £20 million, which is the amount Arsenal is asking for to agree to the player's departure.

Jesus is under contract with Arsenal until the summer of 2027, at a time when the London club has expressed its readiness to part with the 29-year-old Brazilian striker in the upcoming period.

The report indicated that Everton is dealing cautiously with the deal due to the player's injury record, along with the high salary he currently earns with Arsenal, which represents one of the main obstacles to completing the contract.

The source added that Everton will not take advanced steps in the negotiations unless the financial terms of the deal improve, as it may require Jesus to agree to a salary reduction to facilitate reaching an agreement between all parties.

Everton has been monitoring the player for a long time, after his name was linked with a move to the club last summer and then again in January, but Arsenal was not ready at that time to agree to his departure.
