Arsenal is expected to make the news official in the coming days after all the paperwork is handled and Jesus undergoes medical. The 25-year-old is expected to ink a five-year contract.

Man City was reluctant to sell Jesus but recognized that they couldn’t do much to keep him. Jesus wanted more playing time, something that seemed unlikely with the arrival of Erling Haaland. Also, he only had one year left on his contract, and the reigning Premier League champions had to pull the trigger if they didn’t want him to walk away for free next summer.

On the other hand, Arsenal will welcome Jesus with arms wide open. He is immediately expected to be the focal part of their attack while falling into line with the team’s transfer strategy that focuses on youth. The Gunners previously paid €35 million to get 22-year-old Fábio Vieira from Porto.

Gabriel Jesus played 28 games in Premier League this past season, scoring eight goals and providing nine assists. He has a total of 95 goals and 46 assists since arriving to City from Palmeiras in 2017.

Manchester City’s forward Gabriel Jesus is already plotting an exit strategy after the Premier League powerhouse announced the capture of Norwegian phenom Erling Haaland. According to Jesus’ agent Marcelo Pettinati, the 25-year-old player is in talks with Arsenal and is considering a move to the London club in the summer.

“We had talks with Arsenal about Gabriel Jesus,” Pettinati revealed in a recent chat with the UK media outlet The Guardian. “We like the project — it’s a possibility we’re discussing.”

Pettinati added that Arsenal isn’t the only club interested in Jesus and that six other clubs are monitoring his situation.

Haaland’s arrival to City, which was announced earlier this week, will probably mean less playing time for Jesus. However, the Brazilian views himself as a first-team player and could attempt to force a move if this ends up being the case. Also, he only has one year left on his deal, which should make Manchester club more open to bids.

Despite the interest of other teams in Jesus, Arsenal is believed to have a significant advantage. The club’s manager Mikel Arteta already knows the player, having worked with him while serving as Pep Guardiola’s assistant. Moreover, the sources close to the player indicated that Jesus thinks highly of Arteta.

 Gabriel Jesus joined Manchester City in 2017 from Brazil side Palmeiras. Since then, Jesus played 234 games with City, scoring 95 goals and dishing 46 assists. He helped the club win nine trophies, including three Premier League titles.

Two South American superpowers met for the right to play in the Copa America Final on Tuesday night, but only one could move on.

After a game in which Argentina created more chances but simply couldn’t find the net, Brazil won the right to play for the continent’s championship after achieving a 2-0 win over Argentina in Belo Horizonte.

It was yet another disappointment for Argentina and Leo Messi in an international competition, as they have now gone since 1993 without winning a major trophy.

Brazil managed only 4 shots all night, but its hyper-efficient 50% conversion rate was enough to carry them to victory. Their first goal came at the 19th minute to give them an early 1-0 edge when Gabriel Jesus buried a perfect cross from Roberto Firmino.

Argentina had plenty of opportunities to tie up the score after Jesus’s goal. Sergio Agüero looked to have beaten Brazil goalie Alisson Becker shortly after the opener, but his header went off of the crossbar.

Becker then went on to make a stunning save to deny a perfect shot by Leo Messi on a free kick in the 66th minute.

The home side wrapped it up with a goal just five minutes later by Firmino. They didn’t play their best match, but their fortune combined with Argentina’s bad shooting night was enough to get the job done.

Now, they’ll advance to play either Peru or Chile in the competition’s final.
