Arsenal's newest recruit Gabriel Jesus has opened up on how new manager Mikel Arteta's willingness to work with him behind the scenes at former club Manchester City helped inspire his Emirates switch.
The pair are familiar with each other from their time at the Etihad when Arteta was operating as an assistant coach to City boss Pep Guardiola. In that time, the now-Arsenal duo struck up a healthy relationship which has gone on to benefit the Gunners greatly after confirming the £45million transfer.
Speaking to Arsenal's in-house media once the deal had been made public, Jesus explained how talks with Arteta confirmed to him that the Emirates was the place to be for the next chapter of his career after five years of playing in the sky blue of City.
