Botafogo striker Igor Jesus is reportedly attracting interest from Arsenal, Fulham, and Nottingham Forest ahead of the summer transfer window.
 

Daily-Arsenal.com revealed two days ago that Arsenal had approached the representatives of the 22-year-old to assess his situation ahead of a potential summer move.

Now, reliable Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte has confirmed Arsenal's interest, reporting that the Gunners, Fulham, and Nottingham Forest are all monitoring the Botafogo forward.

A member of Igor Jesus' entourage is understood to have been in England recently to hold talks with interested clubs.

While Arsenal's primary striker target remains Sporting CP's prolific Viktor Gyökeres, the club are also considering more affordable alternatives – including Igor Jesus.

Although Arsenal have made an enquiry for the Brazilian forward, sources indicate that nothing is concrete or advanced at this stage.
