Gabriel Jesus deal agreed

Gabriel Jesus is set to complete his move to Arsenal after agreeing terms on a five-year deal at the Emirates.

The Gunners reached an agreement with Manchester City on Friday night to sign the Brazilian for an initial £45million. Jesus, 25, has been Mikel Arteta’s No.1 striker target this summer as he seeks to add more firepower following the January exit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette’s departure following the end of his contract.

Jesus, who had a year left on his City contract, had also been interesting Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur during the current transfer window. But he has elected to forego Champions League football to become the new focal point of Arsenal’s attack. It’s understood he will earn in the region of £190k-a-week.
