Arsenal complete signing of Brazil forward from Man City Gabriel Jesus

Arsenal have completed the signing of Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus on a long-term contract from Premier League champions Manchester City.
The fee for the 25-year-old is said to be £45m and he moves to the Emirates after undergoing a medical and agreeing personal terms. Jesus will wear the No 9 shirt recently vacated by Alexandre Lacazette, who left for Lyon on a free transfer.
Arsenal technical director Edu said: "We are delighted that we have secured the transfer of Gabriel. Everyone who knows football well, knows the qualities of Gabriel Jesus.
Mikel Arteta added: "I'm very excited. The club has done a tremendous job to recruit a player of this stature. I know Gabriel personally very well, and we all know him well from his time in the Premier League and being really successful here.
On leaving Man City, Jesus said: "It's been a pleasure to play for Manchester City. "I feel like I am a better player now than when I arrived - and to win 11 trophies has been amazing. "My four Premier League titles are particularly special for me.
"I want to thank everyone at City - the manager, my team-mates and the fans - for all the support they have given me over the past five-and-a-half years."
