Gabriel Jesus

It is hard to fathom that Mikel Arteta and Arsenal were just one win away from securing Champions League football with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah as ...

Put Jesus on the pitch with those three, and the goals will flow. He has movement, the requisite football IQ, and when chances come his way, he is clinical (see his four goals v Watford). Although, he isn’t the most consistent of ball-strikers, that has to be said. Arsenal did that with only Lacazatte and Nketiah for half a season. Simply looking at how close Arsenal got last season even after their disastrous start and poor finish, coupled with only having Lacazette and Nketiah as its main striking options, the answer is an unequivocal yes. The main priority this summer was to secure a striker of serious calibre, something easier said than done with no Champions League football to offer. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang moved on to Barcelona, the Gunners attacking stocks were relatively thin up top.

The reported fee is £45million, which I think is a good deal for a Premier League ready player who ticks so many boxes of what we need. We have said on the blog ...

But no one seems to be able to predict his next move right now. I am not 100% sure as it is a lot of money. If we secured him, that will be around £140m spent this summer. So it’s in the bag but not quite. But who actually knows? The reported fee is £45million, which I think is a good deal for a Premier League ready player who ticks so many boxes of what we need.

Arsenal have agreed a £45m fee to sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City after a breakthrough in talks on Friday.

David Ornstein of The Athletic confirmed that a deal is now in place, with just a few outstanding elements to be finalised. But as it stands, everything is heading for a positive conclusion to eventually see Jesus in an Arsenal shirt on the pitch after that. Goal suggest Arsenal will now try to finalise the deal quickly so Jesus can join the upcoming tour of the United States.

Arsenal are believed to be closing in on the signing of Gabriel Jesus after reaching an agreement with Manchester City for a £45m transfer.

And thanks to a double announcement by the north London outfit this month, the Brazilian can get the perfect gift of the no.9 shirt if he completes his £45m transfer. Whether Gabriel Jesus will feature in that game remains to be seen as judging by his recent Instagram posts, he is still on holiday after international duty at the beginning of the month. Thank you, Laca, we wish you all the best for the next chapter in your career."

Darren Bent has hinted Gabriel Jesus may not be the ideal signing for Arsenal despite the Manchester City striker having been earmarked as Mikel Arteta's ...

Jesus is understood to be keen to reunite with Arteta, having worked with the Arsenal manager during their time together at City, while he is almost guaranteed a starting role at the Emirates. According to reports, the Gunners are closing in the purchase of Jesus having verbally agreed a fee in the region of £45million with the Premier League champions. With Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang having left the Gunners within the space of six months, Arsenal are short in the striking department.

Manchester City striker and Tottenham target Gabriel Jesus is said to be close to joining Arsenal for £45 million, according the Athletic.

With Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang having left for Barcelona in January and Alexandre Lacazette leaving the club this summer, they were always going to go for a striker this summer. Tottenham under Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici have secured some big signings this summer. Mikel Arteta is said to have the 25-year-old at the top of his wishlist for this summer.

Both players are at the centre of intensifying interest from Arsenal and a new transfer hint has been spotted by fans.

ARSENAL have agreed a £45million deal to sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.

Arsenal will return with improved offers for both Raphinha and Lisandro Martinez after striking a £45million agreement with Premier League champions Manchester City for Gabriel Jesus, Express Sport understands. The France international defender was named in Ligue 1 Team of the Year following an excellent loan spell at the Stade Velodrome last term and he is understood to be open to an immediate return after OM secured Champions League qualification. However, there's a sense an offer in the region of £40m could be enough to alter Ajax's stance on a sale with Manchester United also monitoring the situation. Tottenham are also believed to be readying their opening offer while Chelsea and Barcelona are also in the fray, although the Catalan giants are handicapped by their financial struggles. Meanwhile, talks with Leeds over a deal for £50m-rated Raphinha are ongoing after Arsenal saw their opening offer rejected by the Whites on Tuesday. The Gunners are working around the clock to execute a transfer window like no other to erase the disappointment of last season's fifth-place finish after Arsenal surrendered Champions League football in the final three matches of the campaign, following back-to-back defeats to Tottenham and Newcastle.

The Sporting News wraps up the latest as Gabriel Jesus nears a move to Arsenal from Manchester City.

This may be adopted in matches against elite opposition, with Jesus' work rate meaning he can aim to nullify the opposing left-back, something he has done on multiple occasions for City. In some games, there could be the possibility where both players are fielded to add an offensive threat, though not in a rigid front two. Despite this, Jesus may provide Arsenal with a more adept option up top with regards to build-up play, allowing creative teammates like Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli to roam into dangerous attacking positions. Should his move to Arsenal go through, he could be set for a mammoth increase in his take-home pay. He has this incredible ability because he is always thinking what is the best for the team." Jesus is a versatile forward, who can play through the middle or in either wide position.

Arsenal have spent big in summer transfer windows since Stan Kroenke became the club's sole shareholder in late 2018, and that trend looks set to continue.

With those resources, we have to do what we have to do in the best possible way. That's why we have to find a way to do again what we did last summer." After seeing his side miss out on a top-four finish by two points last season, Arteta sent a clear message to Stan and his son, Josh, that an aggressive approach to the summer transfer window was required again: "Overall, look back, you have to be clear with what we have to do, but very clear as well that this is not where we want to be," he said in his final pre-match conference of the 2021/22 season. "This is another step that was very necessary because it wasn't only about where we are in the league table. We don't know what the rest are going to have in terms of resources, which I assume is going to be challenging because now it's not a top-three, or top-four league, there's a top-eight or ten teams that are involved. And the money spent on 17 of those players makes for interesting reading.

Jesus (RW) - Martinelli (CF) - Saka (LW) Saka (RW) - Jesus (CF) - Martinelli (LW) Bukayo Saka is a nailed on starter but the other spot will be up for grabs, with Gabriel Martinelli, Emile Smith Rowe and Fabio Vieira all in with a decent shout - that's before you even think about the potential signing of Raphinha.

Gabriel Jesus surely knows this himself, and now's the time to make that as clear as possible. He has had some difficult times as a more orthodox striker at international level - notably drawing a blank at the 2018 World Cup - and a move out wide has allowed him to take stock and enjoy some time out of the firing line while playing himself back into form. While Gabriel Jesus had found himself forced to move wide in previous seasons, it became more of a concrete role for him at the start of the 2021-22 campaign. In recent seasons, Arsenal found themselves using the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in wide roles despite the pair being nominally signed as goalscorers. "For me to play on the right wing is more normal now. There have been plenty of moments in which the argument seemed settled, too.

Arsenal are pushing forward with their transfer plans as they look to clinch a deal for Gabriel Jesus ahead of Chelsea with Mikel Arteta desperately looking ...

Tottenham were linked with the forward but never looked too keen on the player with Antonio Conte targeting other areas of his squad over up front - where Harry Kane looks set to stay. The losses of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have left the Gunners light up front. And according to The Athletic, an agreement has finally been reached with City over a fee for Jesus for £45million. Chelsea had also been interested in the 25-year-old, though it is believed that their prime target is Raheem Sterling.

The Manchester City striker has scored nearly 100 goals for the club during his five-and-a-half-year stay.

good luck to him a fantastic servant to our club. In 236 club appearances, he has scored 95 times and set up 46 more. However, the player supposedly wishes to enjoy more regular game time with Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez arriving at the Etihad this summer.

Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have both been linked with transfers away from Everton this summer, but Gabriel Jesus' switch to Arsenal sees the list ...

In the same breath, they can't be seen to be budging on their asking price for either player. Newcastle have been linked with Everton's England international striker in some reports, but that was always bound to be the case given the huge influx of money they have recently received. Who would be willing to pay the right price to bring in either Richarlison or Calvert-Lewin to their clubs this summer? Spurs have been linked with a potential move, but the rumoured fee they would be willing to pay is surely way off what the Blues would be willing to accept. In fact, there's not really been much word of concrete interest in the pair, when at one stage it seemed many teams would be chomping at the bit to begin their pursuit. That's the ambition that comes with players of these talents, and everyone at Everton will have been acutely aware of that for some time.

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City, and 90min have now revealed the salary the Brazilian is set to earn.

There’s a big drop-off then as the Gunners’ second most paid player is our record signing Nicolas Pepe, who pockets £140,000-a-week. He has been Mikel Arteta’s priority target to replace Alexandre Lacazette, and it looks like the Gunners boss has got his man. That will make him our highest-paid player, surpassing Thomas Partey.

The Gunners appeared to be one of the most serious clubs interested in the 23-year-old but now have decided to look elsewhere. The first reason is that Arsenal are working on closing out a deal with Manchester City for Gabriel Jesus, removing them from the race to secure his signature. Victor Osimhen is one of the key players at Napoli and he looks set to remain part of Luciano Spalletti’s squad as the previously interested Arsenal focus on signing Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus instead.
