Fenerbahçe line up Gabriel Jesus as marquee summer target | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe are exploring a move for Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus, who is viewed as a marquee summer target. According to Turkish-Football.com, the Süper Lig side have put the Brazilian at the top of their list.

Club officials are said to have begun exploratory contact with Arsenal to gauge the cost of prising him from the Emirates Stadium. The push follows internal guidance to recruit a top-level focal point in attack.

The plan being worked on is an initial one-season loan proposal. Fenerbahçe are prepared to cover a large share of his Premier League wages to make the numbers add up.

They also aim to tempt the striker with assurances of regular starts and a prominent role in their European campaign.

The pursuit signals an intent to refresh the squad after a disappointing season. Coaches believe a forward of Jesus’s profile could aid a title push and strengthen their prospects in Europe this season.
