Gabriel Jesus told he can't compete with Harry Kane after £45million transfer to Arsenal

Gabriel Jesus has been told he is not of the same calibre as fellow north London forward Harry Kane as the Brazilian settles into life as Arsenal's main man.

The 25-year-old was officially unveiled by the Gunners earlier this week after a lengthy transfer saga was finally completed after Arsenal forked out £45million to secure Mikel Arteta's reunion with a player he is incredibly familiar with. The pair spent plenty of time together when the current Arsenal boss was operating as an assistant coach to Pep Guardiola.

Jesus had just one year left to run on his City contract which has led to some fans and pundits alike questioning the fee Arsenal eventually paid, but it is clear Arteta feels the ex-Etihad fan favourite is the forward Arsenal have long been waiting for.
