Arsenal are on the verge of completing the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. The Brazilian was the Gunners number one target from the start of the window, highlighting the success Edu has had early on so far this summer.
Jesus will become Mikel Arteta’s first-ever striker signing since taking over as the Arsenal boss from Unai Emery in December 2019. And the signing could be one of the best under the Spaniard when you consider the forward’s impressive statistics.
Arsenal desperately lacked a forward presence throughout the stages of last season, which is a major reason why the Gunners missed out on a place in the Champions League. However, Jesus’ scoring record highlights that he could be the key difference for the north London side to qualify for the European elite competition next season.
