Gabriel Jesus is determined to live up to being Arsenal’s new No9 - after idolising Thierry Henry.
Jesus was finally announced as an Arsenal player after completing a £45m switch from Manchester City to the Emirates. Brazil star Jesus played across all of the forward line during his time at City and scored 95 goals in 236 games for Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering team.
But Jesus has made it clear that he is determined to be seen now as a centre forward and wants to bring the club a new era of success to emulate the days of Henry and Co. Jesus, who has signed a five year deal, told the club’s website: “I'm a No.9! I'm a striker, you know. I'm so glad and I thank God every day that I can be alive, and that I can play in three or four different positions, but I think my position is nine.”
