Mikel Arteta unlocks planned Gabriel Jesus Arsenal role with surprise bargain La Liga transfer

Arsenal captured the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City, and he has been a revelation in the early stages of his Gunners career. The Brazilian has scored seven goals in his first five preseason games with the club.

Mikel Arteta has been utilising Jesus as a striker throughout pre-season. However, his recent comments about the new signing suggests that he also wants to use him in a different role in the wing position throughout the season.

But for the Spaniard to unlock this option another forward must be signed to provide depth alongside Eddie Nketiah. The Gunners have been given a cheap chance to do this by signing Memphis Depay from Barcelona.
