Arsenal are set to land four times Premier League winner Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. This is after the two clubs agreed on a $55 million deal on the Brazilian forward. There is quite a plenty of excitement about the arrival of the Brazilian attacker at the Emirates Stadium as he was Mikel Arteta's attacking priority target. So what do the Gunners expect from a player who has ditched the Premier League reigning champions for them as a result of hunger for more playing time? Firstly, Jesus has always delivered nearly exactly what Pep Guardiola asks of him. Even as a No.9 there was a malleability to his game, whether he was charged with primarily playing as a six-yard box predator, a spearhead against teams trying to press high, or dropping deep as a false nine, creating space for midfielders. During his tenure at Manchester City, we can describe him as an unselfish player who always put the team ahead of personal glory.

Gabriel Jesus even put the place of the legendary striker, Sergio Aguero under threat because he has the ability to press opponents high up the pitch especially putting the central defenders under intense pressure, unlike the Argentine who was unable to thrive when the opponents were controlling the ball. The City boss has always turned to Jesus for big games and has most of the time got rewarded with goals and important performances, for example, the Brazilian was very essential in the stellar UEFA Champions League win over Real Madrid during the 2019/20 campaign at the Santiago Bernabeu. Last season, he provided a crucial assist at Anfield against Liverpool and scored a header against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, both goals proved to be essential at the end of the 90 minutes. As Manchester City were in their pursuit for their first-ever UCL title which they were unsuccessful in it, he was in the starting line-up of both semifinal games against eventual champions, Real Madrid. He scored a goal against them at the Etihad Stadium during the first leg. 

Jesus is just 25 years of age and he is moving into his prime years which means he has the potential to get even better. At City, he was unable to convince fans that he belonged to the starting 11 as he was always fighting for a chance in the starting line-up. The move to Arsenal could give him more chances of a regular start and more attention from the fans as well as his coach, Mikel Arteta. He has got everything in his game to be a football star; the ability to play either side, strength, good movement, pace, quick feet, and creative skills on the pitch. Adding to that, he has got the important experience of working in a winning environment and can export the same mentality to Arsenal who boast of a young talented squad hungry for success. The guaranteed first-team football will give Gabriel Jesus the confidence and consistency he needs to prove himself a reliable goalscorer which in turn will help Arsenal get back to UEFA Champions League football or better still to lift the Premier League title which they were last champions during the 2003/04 season when they were nicknamed the ‘invincibles’ after being crowned champions without any single defeat in the 38 games.
