Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has advised Manchester City forward, Gabriel Jesus, not to leave the club for the Gunners this summer even if Pep Guardiola\u2019s side signed Borussia Dortmund\u2019s Erling Haaland at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Jesus has been linked with a move to Premier League rivals, Arsenal at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian scored four goals in Man City\u2019s Premier League 5-1 win over Watford and netted again in their 4-3 victory against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final first leg encounter a few days ago.<\/p>\n

But reports have suggested that Mikel Arteta\u2019s side have held talks with the 25-year-old\u2019s representatives over a summer move to the Emirates.<\/p>\n

\u201cGabriel Jesus should stay at Manchester City. There is speculation about his future and people think he\u2019s unhappy he doesn\u2019t play enough \u2013 but he has started 17 Premier League games this season,\u201d Merson told the Daily Star.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that is a lot. He has played 36 times for City this season. And started a lot of big, big games. Where is he going to go where he can do any better than that?<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if [Manchester] City signs Erling Haaland, he should not leave. No way. This is a team that is going to go deep in four competitions every year and he will always get games.<\/p>\n

\u201cPep Guardiola trusts him. He misses a lot of chances but you can play him anywhere in the forward line and he always keeps trying to get in there.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe still has a big role to play this season. I don\u2019t think Haaland would play a huge amount more than that if he goes there.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it is mind-blowing how open City were against Real Madrid. It could cost them the Champions League, giving top teams so many chances like that. They were outstanding going forward. Could not have played any better going forward. But still only won 4-3!\u201d<\/p>\n
