Arsenal have today confirmed their third summer signing after agreeing a deal to bring Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus to the Emirates.
The 25-year-old was Arsenal's priority transfer target this summer as Mikel Arteta and Edu looked to strengthen their attack, with Jesus scoring eight goals and registering eight assists for City in the Premier League last season. With Erling Haaland on his way to Man City, Jesus' first-team football would have been limited at City next season but the Brazilian wished to stay in the Premier League.
Jesus has taken the number nine shirt for the Gunners after Eddie Nketiah recently signed a new long-term deal to stay in north London, switching to the historic number 14 shirt. The Brazilian only had a year left on his deal at City and Edu had held positive talks with the player's camp over the past few months before the club confirmed they had sealed a £45million deal to bring Jesus to the Emirates ahead of next season.
