Gabriel Jesus has signed for Arsenal on a long-term deal for a reported fee of £45 million.
The Brazilian becomes Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer transfer window, following Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Fabio Vieira into the north London club.
Arsenal technical director Edu and head coach Mikel Arteta were reportedly influential in securing Jesus’ signature.

Jesus previously worked under Arteta when the Spaniard was an assistant coach to Pep Guardiola at City from 2016 until 2019.
With the Premier League champions signing Norwegian striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window, Jesus was unlikely to get regular minutes at the Etihad Stadium and has instead opted to join one of City’s top six rivals
Jesus joined City from Palmeiras in 2017. Last season he scored eight goals in 28 Premier League appearances.
Jesus has also accumulated 56 caps for the Brazil national team. His desire to be playing regular football will likely have been influenced by the upcoming World Cup in Qatar in November.
