When Done With Documents And Medical Status, Gabriel Jesus Will Join Arsenal

JAKARTA - Manchester City and Arsenal have agreed terms on the transfer of Gabriel Jesus on Saturday local time which is said to be tied to a five-year contract.

This was stated by a number of sources to ESPN as reported by Antara, Sunday, June 26.

Arsenal will pay 45 million pounds plus an additional 10 million pounds for the Brazil striker. Jesus just had to settle paperwork and medical status issues.

Arsenal, who signed midfielder Fabio Vieira from Porto this summer, are looking to strengthen their squad after missing out on the Champions League.

Jesus, who has one year remaining on his City contract, scored 13 goals and assisted 12 in all competitions last season and can play in all attacking positions.

He also excels in pressing and counter-pressing which is a very important aspect of Mikel Arteta's style of play.

Arsenal are still trying to finalize a transfer deal for Leeds United winger Raphinha and remain confident of being in the squad. Arsenal are also interested in signing Ajax centre-back Lisandro Martinez.
