Arsenal release Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal spent $ 55 million to recruit Jesus - who impressed coach Mikel Arteta during his assistant for Pep Guardiola at Man City. The striker born in 1997 signed a five -year contract, expected to be Arsenal's new owner after Alexandre Lacazette left.

Jesus is the fourth contract of Arsenal this summer, after midfielder Fabio Vieira, goalkeeper Matt Turner and another Brazilian striker Marquinhos.

"I am extremely excited. The club did very well to recruit a big player like this," Arteta said on the Arsenal website. "I personally know Gabriel and we all understand his ability over time to play really successfully in the Premier League. We have sought quality additions in the center position for a long time. Finally, the club recruited a player as desired and I was very happy for that. "

Jesus grew up from the Palmeiras Club before joining Man City in 2017. During five years at Etihad Stadium, Jesus scored 95 goals in 236 matches. He left to look for more opportunities to play. Last season, Jesus only played 24 of Man City's 50 matches in the Premier League and the Champions League. The fact that Man City bought Erling Haaland strengthened Jesus's desire to leave.

Jesus said he has been following Arsenal for many years because of Thierry Henry's fans. This striker gratitude to Arteta helped him progress at Man City as well as play an important role to bring him to the Emirates Stadium. "I trust Mikel absolutely," Jesus said.
