Arsenal has completed the five-year contract signing of Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus.
According to reports, Gabriel Jesus' transfer to Arsenal is complete, and the striker's departure from Manchester City will be announced soon.
The Gunners were looking for a new striker after Alexandre Lacazette's contract expired, and they appear to have landed their top target.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Jesus will sign a five-year contract with the Emirates club.
The paperwork has already been signed, and all that remains is to officially announce the signing.
Arsenal have been active in the transfer market this summer as Mikel Arteta attempts to assemble a team capable of improving on last season's fifth-place finish.
The Gunners have signed USA international goalkeeper Matt Turner from the New England Revolution, Brazilian winger Marquinhos from Sao Paulo, and Porto midfielder Fabio Vieira.
But Jesus will be by far their most expensive purchase, with the deal widely reported to be worth around £45 million.
After starting just 21 Premier League games under Pep Guardiola last season, the Brazil international will be expecting more regular game time next season.
After joining the Etihad from Palmeiras in 2017, the 25-year-old scored 95 goals in 233 appearances across all competitions.

Chelsea are reportedly at the top of the queue to sign Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo in a mega-deal ahead of the 2022/23 season.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is thought to have informed the 20-time English champions of his desire to leave in the coming weeks, amid concerns about the club's ability to compete for major trophies.
Ronaldo reportedly wants to win one more Champions League before retiring, and the 37-year-old does not believe Manchester United will fulfill his silverware ambitions.
The Red Devils remain steadfast in their belief that Ronaldo is not for sale under any circumstances; however, the Portugal international may try to force an exit before the season begins.
