Spanish giants Barcelona are reportedly closing in on the signing of Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus in a deal valued at £8.6 million (€10 million).
The Brazil international is understood to be at an advanced stage of negotiations with the reigning Spanish champions, with only the final details of the agreement yet to be concluded.
The transfer is expected to be completed before Tuesday’s deadline, provided all remaining formalities are successfully finalised.

Italian side Napoli had also expressed interest in signing the Arsenal forward, but Barcelona appear to have won the race for his signature.
Jesus is expected to travel for his medical on Monday as preparations continue to complete the move.
The potential transfer would bring an end to the Brazilian striker’s spell at Arsenal and hand Barcelona another attacking option as they prepare for the challenges of the new season.
More details are expected to emerge as the clubs work towards finalising the agreement.
