It is hard to fathom that Mikel Arteta and Arsenal were just one win away from securing Champions League football with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah as ...
Put Jesus on the pitch with those three, and the goals will flow. He has movement, the requisite football IQ, and when chances come his way, he is clinical (see his four goals v Watford). Although, he isn’t the most consistent of ball-strikers, that has to be said. Arsenal did that with only Lacazatte and Nketiah for half a season. Simply looking at how close Arsenal got last season even after their disastrous start and poor finish, coupled with only having Lacazette and Nketiah as its main striking options, the answer is an unequivocal yes. The main priority this summer was to secure a striker of serious calibre, something easier said than done with no Champions League football to offer. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang moved on to Barcelona, the Gunners attacking stocks were relatively thin up top.
Arsenal have agreed a £45m fee to sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City after a breakthrough in talks on Friday.
David Ornstein of The Athletic confirmed that a deal is now in place, with just a few outstanding elements to be finalised.

Jesus is understood to be keen to reunite with Arteta, having worked with the Arsenal manager during their time together at City, while he is almost guaranteed a starting role at the Emirates. According to reports, the Gunners are closing in the purchase of Jesus having verbally agreed a fee in the region of £45million with the Premier League champions. With Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang having left the Gunners within the space of six months, Arsenal are short in the striking department.
The Sporting News wraps up the latest as Gabriel Jesus nears a move to Arsenal from Manchester City.
This may be adopted in matches against elite opposition, with Jesus' work rate meaning he can aim to nullify the opposing left-back, something he has done on multiple occasions for City. In some games, there could be the possibility where both players are fielded to add an offensive threat, though not in a rigid front two. Despite this, Jesus may provide Arsenal with a more adept option up top with regards to build-up play, allowing creative teammates like Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli to roam into dangerous attacking positions. Should his move to Arsenal go through, he could be set for a mammoth increase in his take-home pay. He has this incredible ability because he is always thinking what is the best for the team." Jesus is a versatile forward, who can play through the middle or in either wide position.
Arsenal have spent big in summer transfer windows since Stan Kroenke became the club's sole shareholder in late 2018, and that trend looks set to continue.
With those resources, we have to do what we have to do in the best possible way. That's why we have to find a way to do again what we did last summer." After seeing his side miss out on a top-four finish by two points last season, Arteta sent a clear message to Stan and his son, Josh, that an aggressive approach to the summer transfer window was required again: "Overall, look back, you have to be clear with what we have to do, but very clear as well that this is not where we want to be," he said in his final pre-match conference of the 2021/22 season. "This is another step that was very necessary because it wasn't only about where we are in the league table. We don't know what the rest are going to have in terms of resources, which I assume is going to be challenging because now it's not a top-three, or top-four league, there's a top-eight or ten teams that are involved. And the money spent on 17 of those players makes for interesting reading.

When he signed for Manchester City from Palmeiras back in 2017, there was little apparent debate. City were signing a striker - a prolific one, too, with a 20- ...
Gabriel Jesus surely knows this himself, and now's the time to make that as clear as possible. He has had some difficult times as a more orthodox striker at international level - notably drawing a blank at the 2018 World Cup - and a move out wide has allowed him to take stock and enjoy some time out of the firing line while playing himself back into form. While Gabriel Jesus had found himself forced to move wide in previous seasons, it became more of a concrete role for him at the start of the 2021-22 campaign. In recent seasons, Arsenal found themselves using the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in wide roles despite the pair being nominally signed as goalscorers. "For me to play on the right wing is more normal now. There have been plenty of moments in which the argument seemed settled, too.

Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have both been linked with transfers away from Everton this summer, but Gabriel Jesus' switch to Arsenal sees the list ...
In the same breath, they can't be seen to be budging on their asking price for either player. Newcastle have been linked with Everton's England international striker in some reports, but that was always bound to be the case given the huge influx of money they have recently received. Who would be willing to pay the right price to bring in either Richarlison or Calvert-Lewin to their clubs this summer? Spurs have been linked with a potential move, but the rumoured fee they would be willing to pay is surely way off what the Blues would be willing to accept. In fact, there's not really been much word of concrete interest in the pair, when at one stage it seemed many teams would be chomping at the bit to begin their pursuit. That's the ambition that comes with players of these talents, and everyone at Everton will have been acutely aware of that for some time.
