What Man City boss Pep Guardiola has said about Gabriel Jesus prior to Arsenal transfer

Arsenal fans will be buzzing after Gabriel Jesus' £45million move from Manchester City to Arsenal was finally confirmed by the club.

Despite the club finishing 5th in the Premier League and missing out on a Champions League spot, Jesus chose to sign for the Gunners despite other clubs trying to hijack the deal before it was confirmed by the Gunners on Monday. The north Londoners needed a top-class striker after allowing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join La Liga giants Barcelona in January and football.london reported back in April that Manchester City frontman Gabriel Jesus was top of the club's wishlist.

The 25-year-old has been impressed with the Gunners' vision, Mikel Arteta's coaching and the opportunity to lead the Arsenal attack next season. With that in mind, football.london takes a look at everything City manager Pep Guardiola has said about Jesus prior to the Brazilian leaving, along with what the player himself has said.
