Mikel Arteta's dream Arsenal starting line-up as Gabriel Jesus completes transfer from Man City

Arsenal have strengthened a key area of their squad as the club confirmed the £45million signing of Man City forward Gabriel Jesus.

The Gunners have replaced the outgoing Alexandre Lacazette with Jesus, with the Brazilian striker reuniting with Mikel Arteta at the Emirates. Arsenal's technical director Edu has been working on completing a deal for Jesus for months after holding positive talks with the 25-year-old's camp.

The arrival of Erling Haaland at the Etihad would have limited Jesus' first team opportunities next season, and with just a year left on his contract, the Gunners have managed to secure the Brazilian's signature and strengthen their attack ahead of next season. Arsenal will need strength in depth in all areas of their squad with domestic and European competitions to deal with next season, with more signings expected before the transfer deadline following Jesus' announcement.
