Arsenal supporters are waiting, Gabriel Jesus is waiting. By all accounts, this £45m summer transfer has been finalised and it's just an official announcement that remains.
There was a theory that the Brazilian was going to be confirmed as the Gunners' fourth signing of the summer so far - after Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira and Matt Turner - on Friday, July 1 especially as the club posted a tweet about a former number 9 in Lukas Podolski.
This was seen a subtle hint with regards to Arsenal preparing a big announcement for Gabriel Jesus as he's already been spotted wearing the no.9 shirt - recently vacated by Alexandre Lacazette following the expiry of his contract and subsequent return to Lyon - at the Emirates Stadium.
