Gabriel Jesus is expected to pick up where he left off at Manchester City once he becomes an Arsenal player as he looks set to don the number nine shirt once again.
The nine shirt was last worn by Alexandre Lacazette, who recently left the club for Lyon following the expiration of his contract at the end of last season. In truth, the Frenchman failed to ever truly make the grade and reach the standard required of an Arsenal number nine on a regular basis. The squad number is already a favourite of Jesus', given it was the number he donned during his five-year stay at the Etihad.
It has not always been a shirt that has brought the best out of Arsenal players, though it has been worn by some incredibly gifted forwards. For every Park-chu Young or Francis Jeffers, there has been a Jose Antonio Reyes or Nicolas Anelka - Jesus will do well to ensure he is remembered as fondly as the latter group.
