Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal: Leaked footage shows £45m striker in No.9 shirt

Jonathan Gorrie30 June 2022

Gabriel Jesus is edging closer to a move to Arsenal.

The Manchester City forward underwent a medical on Tuesday and is close to signing a five-year-contract in north London as the club continue their busy summer spree.

Since missing out on Champions League football, Mikel Arteta and Edu have overseen a busy summer.

Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Fabio Vieira have all arrived while the club continue to chase a deal for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.

Jesus, of course, will be the headline arrival.
