The reason Manchester City were happy to let Gabriel Jesus join Arsenal was because they had their own marquee signing arriving at the club. Jesus, who was never truly a regular starter at City, was going to see his minutes reduced even more after Erling Haaland arrived at the Etihad Stadium.
Arsenal nipped in and signed Jesus for £45 million from their Premier League rivals. The Brazilian has been in scintillating form for Arsenal, claiming four goals and three assists in his first seven appearances for the club. His numbers are impressive, but City don't appear to be missing his presence too much, as Haaland has scored 11 goals in the same number of games.
However, despite Haaland's superior numbers, Gabriel Agbonlahor believes that Arsenal recruiting Jesus is proving to be a better signing than Pep Guardiola bringing the Norwegian goal machine to City. Former Aston Villa striker Agbonlahor was asked who he believes was the best signing a Premier League side made this summer, and he thinks Jesus has proved to be a better addition than any other player.
