Everton have opened talks to sign Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus, with manager David Moyes keen to strengthen his attacking options this summer. Journalist Gianluigi Longari reports that the Toffees have made initial contact with Arsenal regarding the Brazilian forward’s availability.

However, Jesus earns a substantial £265,000-a-week salary, which could prove a significant stumbling block given Everton’s wage structure. His injury record is another major concern, with the 29-year-old restricted to just three Premier League starts…
