Gabriel Jesus | Joins Arsenal for £45m

Still waiting formal announcement from Arsenal.

I think they will do it the same time we announce Phillips later today.

That stings, watching that.

Who will be announced first Jesus or Phillips?

Still think both will be tonight

Think Arsenal have got an absolute bargain for £45 million.
Strikers are always sold at a premium price. How on earth was Jesus sold for less than what allegedly Richarlison and the Leeds forward will cost e.g. at least £50 million ?
Should have got at least £55 million for a hard-working, proven goalscorer and Brazilian international who knows how the Premier League works...

Contract length. Jesus is hardworking and we will miss certain aspects of his game. The player has been hit and miss for 2 seasons and no more damming verdict needed that pep chose to play without a cf for 2 seasons.

He did start to pick up towards the end of the season. Now if you are being cynical you could argue why has he not performed to this level consistently. Is it down to his move away? Either way I am just glad we are recouping a decent fee. He will be missed but not as much as peak sterling. Unfortunately both wanted to leave and their overall performances have been poor. Moments of magic without the consistency.

Who knows what type of player Arsenal are getting. Probably will hit the ground running but will it last?

Taking an age for this to be official

On Gabriel Jesus, no announce expected by #Arsenal today. Everything is agreed and in place, but formal announcement from the club won't be until later this week as of this morning. #AFC

red doesn't suit him, is it just me or does he seem slightly underwhelmed
