Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper turned Sky Sports pundit Paul Robinson has been left thrilled by the latest transfer news involving Man City forward Gabriel Jesus.
The Lowdown: Spurs make contact...
It is believed that manager Antonio Conte and transfer chief Fabio Paratici wish to add a striker to their ranks this summer with Sky Blues attacker Jesus among their targets.
Fabrizio Romano, sharing news in the last few days, has revealed that the Lilywhites are now in contact with his representatives over a potential move to north London this summer.
Speaking on Chris Cowlin's YouTube channel, the transfer journalist states there have been discussions between Jesus' entourage and Tottenham as Robinson reacts to this promising development.
The Latest: Robinson thrilled...
Speaking to Football Insider, the ex-England international claims Jesus would be an 'ideal' striker signing for Spurs and Conte - drawing particular attention to his quality.

He explained:
"There is not a starting spot for him at Spurs but he’d be an ideal signing because of his versatility and quality.
“It is down to the player’s ambitions. He will have no shortage of clubs interested in him.
“It depends on what he is driven by. Is he driven by success or finance?"
The Verdict: Make a move?
While the Brazil international will find it hard to get in ahead of Harry Kane, his brilliant return of Premier League goals and scintillating form towards the end of 2021/2022 perhaps suggests Jesus could give it a real go.
The 25-year-old bagged six goals in his final seven league matches of last season, displaying his true quality when given a chance, and we believe Jesus could perhaps do the same at Tottenham under Conte.
