Edu's genius £45m Arsenal transfer vindicated with Ronaldinho praise amid Messi comparison

Game by game, Arsenal's decision to sign Gabriel Jesus this summer becomes increasingly impressive. Signed from Manchester City for £45 million, Jesus has grabbed seven goal contributions in as many games so far this season.

City were happy to let the 25-year-old join Arsenal, partly due to them acquiring Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. Based on the evidence so far, City selling Jesus to Arsenal may have made the Gunners serious title rivals to the reigning Premier League champions.

Jesus has been at the centre of a young and vibrant Arsenal attack that is scoring 2.42 goals per game on average so far this term and could be the missing piece to the Gunners jigsaw that fell short of their objectives last season.
