Wilshere tips Jesus for Arsenal
Jack Wilshere has tipped Mikel Arteta’s relationship with Gabriel Jesus to swing the balance when it comes to signing the Brazilian.
The Gunners remain interested in the Man City man, but face competition from the rivals.
Although Wilshere thinks the Gunners have a good chance of securing his services.
Wilshere told talkSPORT: “I think they will be queuing up to sign him. Arsenal will have a big chance of signing him because of his relationship with Mikel Arteta.
“I can see Newcastle going for him as well but I would love to see him at Arsenal.”
‘Cheeky’ Lukaku bid
Paul Merson believes the Gunners should make a “cheeky” bid for Chelsea’s out-of-favour forward Romelu Lukaku.
“Arsenal should make a cheeky £60m bid for Romelu Lukaku this summer,” he wrote in his Daily Star column.
“Because if Chelsea are so desperate to let him go that they’re talking about loaning him to Inter Milan, surely they would take the money! Arsenal haven’t had someone who is big and strong and dynamic like that since Kevin Campbell.
“I know he hasn’t scored a lot of goals this season but Lukaku is an elite goalscorer. Arsenal play great football up to the edge of the box but then it often fizzles out.
“Arsenal have runners who could get in behind him and supply him with crosses. I would like to think Arsenal is a club Lukaku would consider. They’re talking about him going back to Inter Milan but Arsenal are as big a club as Inter. Arsenal may not be in the Champions League next season, but Inter are not winning it are they?”
Flores praised by Mexico boss
Arsenal star Marcelo Flores was praised for his talent by Mexico boss Tata Martino.
He said of Flores: “Marcelo is everything a coach expects, that the player has those desires to assert his dribbling, he does what we all expect of him, he executes the ‘one on one’, which is one of the best qualities and the penalty is anecdotal.
“It’s fine…We had Santi, Chávez and Orbelín, Santi decided to give it to him and the boy is in the dressing room crying inconsolably, and it’s sad because this career has many disappointments.
“But everything that happened is well, everything is experience and everything is knowledge; Marcelo is something different, he needs peace of mind and hopefully they can give it to him.”
No Chill
Italy star Giorgio Chiellini has spoken on grabbing Bukayo Saka’s shirt in the Euro 2020 final.
“It was in the 90th minute and I’d read the flight of the ball, thinking I could shepherd it out of play when really I could have controlled it.
“But I was convinced I could put my body between Saka and the ball and let it go out of play, but he wriggled round me.”
“When he wriggled round from behind and had that space to run into, my reaction was to grab him. And I grabbed him good!”
Tavares wanted by Marseille
Struggling Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares is wanted in a loan transfer by French outfit Marseille, according to reports.

The 22-year-old was handed more game time than what he was most likely expecting last term, with starting left-back Kieran Tierney struggling with injuries.
Tavares was hit and miss for the Gunners.
At times he’d look electric going forward. But often he was defensively vulnerable.
And according to Lions de l’Atlas, Tavares could be handed the chance to improve on loan in France.
Saliba urged to join Marseille
Matteo Guendozi has pledged to “try and push” William Saliba to leave Arsenal and join Marseille permanently.
Speaking to Telefoot, the midfielder said: “William now has Marseille in his heart, and I’m sure that he’ll come back to Marseille next season.

That’s according to Stan Collymore who also questioned whether the Gunners duo will be at the club in two year’s time.
He said to the Mirror: “At Arsenal, with the support cast they have, which is still two rookies in Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka — and we don’t know for sure that they will still be wearing Gunners shirts in two years’ time, with Saka being linked with Liverpool and City.
“If I was Jesus I would be thinking of myself in the blue shirt at Stamford Bridge.”
