Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has claimed that Gabriel Jesus is the "best striker/defender" he has worked with. It comes after the Brazilian made the £45million switch to Arsenal this summer as Mikel Arteta looked to solve his goal scoring problem heading into the next campaign.
The previous season saw the Spaniard miss out on a return to the top four and Champions League football. While squad depth was an issue, the most pressing place for improvements was at centre-forward, with a lack of goals and a loss of some key figures in the department.
Having worked with the 25-year-old before, Arteta brought in Jesus and claimed he was happy with the move: "I’m very excited. The club has done a tremendous job to recruit a player of this stature. I know Gabriel personally very well, and we all know him well from his time in the Premier League and being really successful here.
