He is wearing the number 9 shirt, the same number he had at Manchester City, possibly bringing an end to speculation of what his shirt number will be.

An initial fee of £45million was agreed between Arsenal and Manchester City, but it could rise depending on the Brazilian’s milestones with Arsenal.

Arsenal will be relieved at the acquisition of Jesus, especially after losing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who has since joined Barcelona, and Alexandre Lacazette.

Lacazette walked away from the club after the expiry of his contract, and went on to join his boyhood club Lyon.

The Gunners have made a huge statement of intent this summer with some big signings, as Jesus is set to become the fourth acquisition after Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos and Matt Turner.

Lukaku’s shirt number theory

Elsewhere, Sports Brief reported of fans’ interesting theory on why Romelu Lukaku was handed the number 90 shirt at Inter Milan.

The 29-year old rejoins Inter on a season-long loan after netting 15 goals in 44 games for the Blues last season.

Inter paid a loan fee of £6.9 million and Lukaku is set to link up with his new-old teammates in the coming days, and fans now claim the shirt number is a sly dig at Chelsea for the fee paid for Lukaku.
