Arsenal have reportedly been scouting FC Dallas forward Jesus Ferreira and they are believed to be monitoring his performances for the USA at the World Cup.
The 21-year-old had a good season in MLS, scoring 18 goals in total but he was an unused substitute in USA’s first group game against Wales on Monday and fans on Twitter don’t think he has the requisite quality to play for the Gunners:
He’s not close to arsenal level

Someone who can’t even bench Sergent in this US team?…. Edu should stop joking 🤦♂️

Please move on from these type of players. I want proven world class quality

It does seem as though Arsenal are paying close attention to players in North America. They recruited goalkeeper Matt Turner from New England Revolution last summer while there have been multiple reports confirming the club’s interest in Orlando City’s Facundo Torres.
Whether Ferreira would be a good addition to the squad, though, it is up for debate. Eddie Nketiah has been providing good cover for Gabriel Jesus, while recruiting another striker could hamper the development of Folarin Balogun, who has been thriving out on loan in France.
