Arsenal and Chelsea are among six Premier League clubs interested in acquiring the talents of Igor Jesus, a young forward from Botafogo.
The 23-year-old recently made his return to Brazilian football after spending four years in Dubai.
Since joining O Glorioso, he has made an impressive impact, netting five goals in his first 13 league games, which earned him a spot in the national team led by Dorival Junior.
In his national team debut, Jesus scored an equalizer that helped Brazil secure a 2-1 victory over Chile during a World Cup qualifier for 2026.
According to Fichajes, his impressive performance has caught the attention of clubs in England.
Which Premier League teams are eyeing Igor Jesus?
Reports indicate that, besides Arsenal and Chelsea, clubs like Brighton, Newcastle, Brentford, and Nottingham Forest are also keeping tabs on Jesus.
While Arsenal and Chelsea are more prominent names, it may be argued that the other four clubs could provide him with more consistent playing opportunities.
Brighton, Newcastle, and Brentford have recently enjoyed solid league standings, which strengthens their appeal, while Nottingham Forest showcases how a player like Danilo, also Brazilian, can adapt successfully in the Premier League.
