Arsenal Complete Signing Of Gabriel Jesus

According to the extremely reliable Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have completed the signing of Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus.

Romano took to Twitter to claim personal terms are agreed between the club and the player's agent, referring to the deal as "100% done."

It was originally Romano who had first reported a fee had been agreed between the clubs on Friday, expected to be £45m.

The report also states Technical Director Edu Gaspar and Manager, Mikel Arteta have been key for this deal.

Edu was General Coordinator of the Brazilian National team from 2016-2019 and likely shared a relationship with Jesus.

Similar can be said of Arteta, who coached Jesus during his time in Pep Guardiola's staff at Manchester City.

Both of these relationships likely played a big role in convincing Jesus to take his ability to North London, who is expected to sign a five year contract at the Emirates.

Jesus moved to Manchester City in January of 2017, spending over five years in Manchester.

In that time he won countless trophies, including four Premier League titles.

The Brazilian scored 95 goals in 236 appearances for City,

This may not seem so impressive but it is important to note the striker arrived in England at the age of just 19 and spent a lot of his time at City making his appearances from the bench or the wings.

In that time Jesus has also broken into the Brazil National team, scoring 19 goals in 56 appearances thus far.

The striker is known for his tremendous ability on the ball, easily able to drop deeper and spread the play or beat his man.

In the box, the 25-year-old's movement is killer, always appearing in the right place to stroke the ball home.

However, his ability off the ball is key too. Guardiola once famously described Jesus as the best pressing forward in the World, and this is undoubtedly key in Mikel Arteta's decision to pursue him.

The deal is still pending a medical but looks to be complete now as Arsenal's third signing of the Summer.

Official confirmation should follow next week as the Brazilian joins Fabio Vieira and Marquinhos in an electric start to Arsenal's window.

The Gunners are far from finished there however, and remain keen on bringing in Lisandro Martinez, Raphinha and Youri Tielemans this Summer.
