Arsenal think Memphis is ideal Jesus replacement

Barcelona's financial problems could be sorted out very soon. Selling one of their best players would give the Catalan side breathing space, who need to sell immediately.

The man who is in Arsenal's radar is Memphis Depay, according to 'Sport'. The London club lost their main striker, Gabriel Jesus, after a serious knee injury.

The Brazilian footballer will be out for around three months, according to manager Mikel Arteta, after the friendly win against Lyon in Dubai last Thursday.

Therefore, The Gunners have decided that the perfect replacement is the Dutchman. What will be complicated will be convincing Barcelona, who are not thinking about selling him.

The English side, however, are in a rush, and are set to go for the player in the next transfer window, despite Arteta having Nketiah and Martinelli as alternatives.

Last summer, the Barca board tried everything they could to get rid of the striker in order to alleviate their economic pressures, but he ended up staying at the side.
