It is understood that the 25-year-old has already agreed personal terms with the Mikel Arteta-tutored side and an official announcement is imminent.

The same has been confirmed by transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, who revealed on Sunday, June 26, that the transfer is "100% done."

"Personal terms fully agreed with his agent Marcelo Pettinati and his two partners. Gabriel signs until 2027, it’s 100% done. ⚪️ #AFC," he tweeted.
"Arsenal already agreed £45m fee with Man City as revealed on Friday. Edu & Arteta, key for the deal," he added.

Jesus now becomes Arsenal's third signing of the summer having already acquired the services of Fabio Viera from FC Porto and goalkeeper Matt Turner.

Arsenal submit bid to sign ex-Chelsea striker

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Arsenal have submitted an offer to sign Alvaro Morata as Mikel Arteta steps ups efforts to sign a striker.

Morata has been a Chelsea player before but did not perform as expected despite his huge transfer fee.

Arsenal are however more interested in landing Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City and will look keenly at other options should the move fail.
