Arsenal confirmed that they had sealed a PS45million deal to bring Jesus to the Emirates before next season. Following Arsenal’s third summer signing before the 2022-23 campaign. Simultaneous predicted that the Brazilian forward could put together a spectacular season for the Gunners next term, scoring 23 goals in 51 games in all competitions. Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus is joining Arsenal on a five-year contract, before the proposed transfer fee of PS 45m, according to The Athletic.
Manchester United are reported to have made a bid of $ 47m for the Argentina fullback Lisandro Martinez and is pushing Arsenal hard to sign the Ajax star. Napoli’s said asking price is reported as over $115 million, while Manchester United and Arsenal are linked with an interest in Victor Osimhen. Gabriel Jesus is widely expected to be a marquee signing that could propel Arsenal back to the Champions League, having just missed out on finishing above Tottenham Hotspur in the top four last season. Gabriel Jesus was formally unveiled earlier this week by Arsenal, following a long-running transfer saga that was finally completed, with Arsenal shelling out PS 45million to ensure Mikel Arteta was reunited with the player with whom he has become highly familiar.
Jesus, at 19, began his career at City as a traditional out-and-out no. 9, specialised in quick bursts of movement, close-range dribbling, and one-touch finishes. The Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus’ signing would then come as a welcome boost for Mikel Arteta. He will hope that his quality in the forward position could see Arsenal become a leading contender for securing Champions League football and challenge for the honours. However, his prolific scoring record at City when deployed at no.9 provides the framework for a player that Arsenal fans could feel comfortable in seeing break at least the 15-goal barrier during the Premier League campaign. And that will give a platform for more consistency than either Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Alexandre Lacazette could provide for the 2021-22 campaign.
Despite Chelsea’s and Tottenham’s interest, Gabriel Jesus has decided to join Arsenal in a move that will see him reunited with Mikel Arteta, formerly Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City. What is interesting is if Arsenal is spending less on core forwards so they can afford to get somebody like Gianluca Scamacca in there who can provide Arsenal more end product up front. Given that Tottenham has made several impressive signings so far this summer, and Chelsea is set to continue their Chelsea hiring spree once their new owners and board are in place, the Gunners must begin getting those deals done.
