ARSENAL have completed the signing of Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus in a £45million transfer.
The Brazil international has signed a long-term contract worth an eye-watering £264,000-a-week.
Jesus leaves the Premier League champions, City, having won eight major honours at the club.
The forward, 25, netted 95 goals and picked up 46 assists in 233 games for City.
And he joins Eddie Nketiah, who recently signed a new mega deal, in the striker department.

Arsenal were in dire need of a striker or two at the start of the summer following the exits of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
Jesus becomes Arsenal’s fourth summer signing, following the arrivals of Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos.
Boss Mikel Arteta is “excited” to work with Jesus, who he has already coached during his time at Man City.
