Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a surprise move for the Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus.

The 28-year-old has not been at his best since joining Arsenal, and he scored 18 goals in Premier League matches for them.

Jesus on the radar of Spurs and Newcastle

The £265k-a-week player is expected to be on the move this summer, and a report from CaughtOffside claims that Tottenham are preparing a move for him this summer.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United are keeping tabs on his situation as well. They will need a striker if Alexander Isak decides to leave the club, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to make a move for the South American.

It will be interesting to see if they can sign the 28-year-old Brazilian international. He could be a useful acquisition for them if he manages to regain his form and confidence. He was a quality player during his time at Manchester City, and he will be hoping to get back to his best once again.

Gabriel Jesus needs a fresh start

A fresh start could be ideal for the player. He has not been able to live up to the expectations at Arsenal, and he will get his career back on track with regular football at another club. Tottenham might be able to provide him with that opportunity. He is capable of operating as a centre forward as well as a wide player. He could be the ideal alternative to players like Son Heung-min and Richarlison.

Both players are expected to leave Tottenham during the summer transfer window, and they will need alternatives. Despite his struggles since joining Arsenal, the 28-year-old is a reliable performer at the highest level, and he has the quality and experience to play for a big club like Tottenham. He has won several major trophies throughout his career, and his winning experience could prove to be invaluable as well.
