Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus has now agreed personal terms over a five-year contract at Arsenal, with a move away from the Etihad Stadium now complete.
Spending over five years in Manchester, the Brazilian international will bid a fond farewell to the club after winning four Premier League titles, one FA Cup, and four Carabao Cups along the way.
His most recent campaign and ultimately final season ended in glory too, with Manchester City and Gabriel Jesus securing their fourth English top-flight title in the last five seasons.

However, over the past few months, concerns have seemingly been growing for Gabriel Jesus.
To start, Etihad officials have completed the double swoop of River Plate striker Julian Alvarez, and Borussia Dortmund's superstar frontman Erling Haaland - reducing potential game time for the former Palmeiras man.
Additionally, Gabriel Jesus will be desperate for consistent minutes over the next few months.

With Brazil heading to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar towards the end of this year, Jesus will be keen on securing the necessary minutes to ensure his place on the plane for the tournament is safe.
After making his feelings clear in regards to a Manchester City exit, Gabriel Jesus was certainly not sure of options, with the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, and Tottenham all interested.
However, it is Arsenal who have won the race for the 25 year-old.
As per the information of transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City and Arsenal had already agreed on an initial transfer fee of £45 million for the player.

In recent days, both the player, the London club, and the relevant intermediaries and representatives have also completed personal terms for the deal to go through.
Gabriel Jesus will sign a five-year contract at the Emirates Stadium, keeping him at the club until at least 2027.
During a six-year spell with the reigning Premier League champions, Gabriel Jesus racked up an impressive trophy haul of 11 pieces of silverware under Pep Guardiola.

Across the course of that time, Jesus managed to register an impressive 236 appearances for Manchester City, scoring 95 goals and providing a total of 46 assists.
That brings the player to an average of a goal contribution ever 101 minutes over the time in which he donned the Sky Blue shirt.
In moving to Arsenal, Jesus will be reunited with his former Manchester City coach Mikel Arteta - who is now at the reigns of the new project underway at the Emirates Stadium.
