Barcelona sign Gabriel Jesus for £9m
Gabriel Jesus has completed his move from Arsenal to Barcelona in a deal worth about £9m. It’s a fantastic move for the Brazilian, who had declined in importance at Arsenal after a succession of serious injuries.
Arsenal would have hoped for a higher fee for a player of his reputation but his enormous salary, believed to have been worth about £250,000 a week, was always going to be problematic as they looked for buyers.

The Portuguese midfielder has never cut it in the Premier League and it is no surprise that Arsenal have cashed in. They paid more than £30m to sign him from Porto in 2022, but he has never come close to justifying the fee. In truth, it’s one of their worst transfers under Mikel Arteta.
