Gabriel Jesus will reportedly wear the No. 9 jersey at Arsenal following his transfer from Manchester City.

The Brazil international recently completed a £45 million move from the Premier League champions and has reportedly completed his medicals in north London (as per Fabrizio Romano).

A report by the Mirror reveals that the 25-year-old will inherit the jersey number nine that was recently vacated by Alexandre Lacazette. It is a number that Jesus is very familiar with, having worn it for the last three seasons at City, as well as on the international scene with Brazil.

The former Palmeiras man has signed a five-year deal with Arsenal and will bear the brunt of the club’s goalscoring expectations.

He joins the club on the back of five-and-a-half trophy-laden seasons at the Etihad that saw him win eight major trophies. He departs the Premier League champions having scored 95 goals and provided 46 assists in 236 matches in all competitions for the Cityzens.

However, the arrival of Erling Haaland at the club threatened his gametime, making him look for a move away to guarantee playing time.

Rather surprisingly, Arsenal have not had too many iconic players donning the number nine jersey in the Premier League era.

Only a handful of names have justified the legendary number. Nicolas Anelka, Paul Merson, Alexandre Lacazette and Lukas Podolski are among the few No. 9s to make a mark for the Gunners.
