Arsenal have reportedly finalised the signing of Gabriel Jesus after agreeing personal terms with the Manchester City striker.
The Gunners had already agreed a £45million fee with City and the deal is now 100 per cent done according to Fabrizio Romano.
Jesus, who previously worked with Mikel Arteta when the latter was an assistant coach at City, will sign a five-year contract with Arsenal.
Sportsmail understands City will use the funds to seal a move for Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
The deal is set to end Arsenal's search for a striker following the departure of Alexandre Lacazette, who is returning to Lyon. Arsenal elected not to buy a striker in January despite Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joining Barcelona.
Earlier this month forward Eddie Nketiah signed a new five-year contract with the club.
Jesus has long been identified as a key target for Arteta, who will hope that the Brazil international will provide his team with an extra edge in attack.

The signing of Jesus for £45m could’ve been Man Utd , but instead they’re up there looking for de Jong, this guy is going to destroy lot of EPL teams with goals once he’s given more playing time, good luck 🙏🙏

Manchester City will empower poorer clubs by selling them their excess talent so that they will destroy Liverpool. I am laughing at that silly supercomputer which LIED that Liverpool had a 79% chance to win the league and gave City only a 21% chance. 2
