Chelsea board encouraged to and sign £250k-a-week star From London rivals

CHELSEA should ‘jump at the chance’ to sign Gabriel Jesus if Arsenal make the striker available this summer, according to Glen Johnson.

Before joining Arsenal almost two years ago, Jesus enjoyed five successful years at Manchester City, scoring 95 goals and helping the Sky Blues win four Premier League titles.

His move to the Emirates has seen some very good performances from the Brazilian star and he has proven that he is a top-class striker at times, but most of his time with the Gunners has been spent on the sidelines.

Despite his underwhelming stint at Arsenal, ex-Premier League defender Johnson would be surprised if he was put up for sale this summer – but insists he would be a great signing for us.

Asked if we should make moves for Jesus if he becomes available, Johnson told Betfred: ‘Yes, definitely

‘I would be surprised if Arsenal do actually want to sell him because I think that would be crazy. If he does become available, either CHELSEA or Liverpool should bite their arm off.

‘He’s not going to get you 25-goals-a-season, but he’s going to be a big part of the team and he works his socks off. In front of goal, he’s going to score a lot of goals at a club like that where he’ll get a lot of opportunities.

‘If Arsenal do let him go, then Chelsea and Liverpool should absolutely jump at the chance.’

If he does come onto the market – it would be a waste of money from the club to get the man considering he will be just as injury prone as he is now.
