Gabriel Jesus has already been pictured wearing an Arsenal shirt as his transfer from Manchester City draws closer. Not only did the 'leaked' footage of Jesus being announced at the Emirates Stadium excite plenty of Arsenal fans, but it was also effective confirmation that the striker will wear the number nine shirt at his new club after vacating the same number at City.
Back at the Etihad, Jesus' departure solves a minor problem for City as Erling Haaland looks to be the natural successor of that number nine shirt.
If Raheem Sterling joins Chelsea, though, who would wear the number seven shirt? Txiki Begiristain has nearly delivered on Man City chairman's transfer dream One bookmaker has suspended betting on Sterling to join Chelsea, with their new owner, Todd Boehly, contacting City this week to see if the England international would be available.
It's a transfer that could well happen, especially if Sterling sees his game time limited at City after the signings of Haaland and Julian Alvarez.
