EPL: Arsenal considering offering Jesus in swap deal to sign Osimhen

Arsenal are reportedly planning a potential swap deal which will see 24-year-old Victor Osimhen and Gabriel Jesus switch clubs next summer.

As per a report in Fichajes, the Gunners are ready to use the Brazilian to convince Napoli to part ways with Osimhen next year.

The Premier League North London club see the Nigerian international as the perfect striker for manager Mikel Arteta’s system and are interested in a swap deal.

Napoli are aware of Arsenal’s plans and are also looking for potential replacements should Osimhen leave the Serie A champions.

Jesus, meanwhile, is believed to be one of the options but Napoli will demand a fee along with the Brazilian in any potential deal.

Napoli were not interested in selling Osimhen in the summer transfer window despite interest from Chelsea, PSG and Al Hilal.

The Serie A giants set €200 million price tag but rejected a similar offer from the Saudi Pro League.
