Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus is edging closer to a move away from the club, with Flamengo preparing a formal offer to take the Brazilian on loan. Sporting News understands that Mikel Arteta has given the green light for Jesus to leave this summer, with a loan move currently seen as the most likely option.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he is "absolutely delighted" to welcome new signing Viktor Gyokeres through the doors of the Emirates, after the striker agreed to a £63m move from Sporting. The 27-year-old, who made 102 appearances and scored 97 goals over a two-year spell at the Portuguese club, has penned a five-year contract.

Mikel Arteta wants any new signings to join Arsenal ’s pre-season tour of Asia as quickly as possible, with the club now closing in on a move for Viktor Gyokeres. Arsenal have agreed a deal with Sporting for Gyokeres worth €63.5million (£55m) up front, with a further €10m (£8.7m) in add-ons.
