Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus is expected to “join a Premier League club” this summer, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Reports in Brazil have suggested that, despite Arsenal making a €50m (£42.6m) bid for the 25-year-old, Real Madrid could complicate matters by entering the race for the striker, but Romano believes the La Liga champions are not likely to step up their interest:

While the news about Real will be seen as great news for the Gunners, it must be pointed out that there are other clubs in the Premier League that Jesus could decide to join.
Tottenham have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian international, while Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the player recently.
With both teams having Champions League football, Arsenal know that they will have to fight tooth and nail if they are to beat their rivals to Jesus’s signature.
