Speaker 1: been facilitated by a direct structural connection behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: with Gabriel Jesus recently signing with the exact same management
Speaker 1: agency that represents a Lagriy. Arsenal have established a firm
Speaker 1: position on the forward's immediate future. As formal contact develops,

Speaker 1: across Europe that they will only entertain proposals for a permanent,
Speaker 1: definitive transfer, having structured their wage bill and attacking depth
