Everton to push for Gabriel Jesus signing at Arsenal as loan-to-buy offer made
Everton can now make Gabriel Jesus their priority ahead of the January window.
Jesus has emerged as a target for Everton in recent months as David Moyes looks to solve his striker woes at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Thierno Barry has struggled for form at Everton, and Beto hasn’t been any better, so a new recruit appears to be on the shortlist, ready for the winter market.
The Toffees have assessed various options, with Everton showing interest in Jesus at Arsenal after a quiet start to the season in North London
Jesus could now be central to a transfer push on Merseyside, with a loan with an option to buy offer already tabled elsewhere.
Everton set to miss out on Joshua Zirkzee
Many attacking targets have been assessed in L4, with Joshua Zirkzee emerging as an option for Moyes’ side.
The Netherlands international started for the Red Devils against the Toffees as the away side secured a 1-0 win away at Old Trafford.
He now looks to be on his way out, with Roma making a loan-to-buy offer for Zirkzee as Man United look to part ways with the forward.
Gazzetta Dello Sport reported on 26 November that the 24-year-old is open to joining the Italian giants temporarily with a view to signing permanently if they qualify for the Champions League.
With a deal looking likely to go through for the ex-Bologna man, the Toffees could see it as a blow, even this far away from the window’s opening date.
Instead, it could provide them with the ideal opportunity to swoop in and land a deal for Jesus in the winter.
Everton must push for Gabriel Jesus signing
Everton want a striker, and the decision has seemingly been between Zirkzee and Jesus as January looms on Bramley-Moore.
The Dutchman looks to be off the table, with a switch to link up with the Friedkin’s at the Olympico seemingly on the cards.
That could leave the Toffees with an opportunity to put all their effort into landing Jesus after failing to feature for Arsenal since January.
It may be a risk to sign the Brazilian, but there is no doubt about the quality he possesses and the level of Premier League experience under his belt.
On an initial loan, there is little risk for the Blues, and he could prove to be the point of difference that Moyes is so desperate for right now.
