Gabriel Jesus backed for Juventus move as Arsenal target Ndicka nears Premier League switch
Gabriel Jesus backed for Juve as Arsenal target Ndicka nears PL move

Arsenal are likely to have a busy summer transfer window regardless of whether they win a trophy this season. Mikel Arteta's side are in the midst of a Premier League title race, but speculation over the futures of current star Gabriel Jesus and a player they failed to sign last summer continues.

Gabriel Jesus backed for Juventus move

Former Juventus striker Fabrizio Ravanelli believes Gabriel Jesus can provide the Italian club with the attacking threat they need. Juventus have been linked with Barcelona veteran Robert Lewandowski, but Ravanelli sees Jesus, who is significantly younger, as a better fit.

"I think the club should look to other attacking options rather than the 38-year-old Lewandowski," Ravanelli told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I'd do anything to sign Victor Osimhen, even if it's not easy because of certain clauses. There are many strong strikers in Europe, starting with Gabriel Jesus, who would be worthy of a place at Juventus even after a few injuries. There are other young players, and the scouts must identify the right profile who can win something important in the future."

Ndicka may get Premier League move

One year after turning down Arsenal, Evan Ndicka could be on his way to the Premier League. The Ivorian centre-back opted to stay at Roma rather than moving to North London, with Arsenal subsequently adding Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera to their defence.

While Arsenal are not expected to renew their interest, Premier League rivals Bournemouth are reportedly keen. The Cherries are set to lose Marcos Senesi when his contract expires, and incoming manager Marco Rose is familiar with Ndicka from his time in the Bundesliga. According to 225 Foot, the 26-year-old is a top priority for Rose when he succeeds Andoni Iraola. However, Roma are said to want a fee in the region of £35 million.
