‘Massive bonus’ will convince Gabriel Jesus to snub Arsenal and sign for Tottenham – pundit
Gabriel Jesus should sign for Tottenham instead of Arsenal this summer.
That’s according to former Leeds United stopper Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about who the Brazilian should sign for this summer.
On Monday (23 May) The Telegraph reported Tottenham are poised to compete with Arsenal for Jesus this summer.
The 25-year-old is set to leave the Etihad this summer with Erling Haaland due to arrive from Borussia Dortmund.
Tottenham confirmed their place in next season’s Champions League by beating Norwich on Sunday (22 May).
Kenny insists Spurs’ participation in the competition is a “massive bonus” in their hunt for recruits.
“They are very similar clubs, both London, they can both pay the same wages,” Kenny told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“So then it comes down to things like playing in the Champions League and that is a massive bonus for Tottenham.
“Spurs also have a brand new stadium which is unbelievable compared to the Emirates.
“They have the Champions League football, you have Conte. For me, it’s a no brainer.
“It’s Tottenham all day for me, they are the club who finished the season stronger. The only thing is Harry Kane.
“He will always be the main man at Spurs and Arsenal probably won’t have any strikers in a few weeks.
“That being said, if it was me, I’d be choosing the team in the Champions League.”
Jesus scored eight goals in the 2021-22 Premier League season.
He also registered eight assists.
