Here are the latest Premier League headlines for Monday, July 4. Gabriel Jesus says he was a fan of Arsenal as a boy because of Thierry Henry and will now follow in the Frenchman's footsteps after joining the club from Manchester City.

The Brazil international has also been reunited with Mikel Arteta, who spent more than three years as Pep Guardiola's assistant at City before taking the manager's job at the Emirates Stadium.

Jesus, 25, is believed to have signed a five-year contract in a reported £45million deal, having left City after scoring 95 goals in 236 appearances and winning the Premier League four times, EFL Cup three times and the FA Cup. "I followed Arsenal when I was young because of Henry," he told arsenal.com. "Obviously I didn't follow too many European teams, but when I saw some of the players that played here, I was like "Wow, this club is big".

I'm so happy to sign for this big club. Since day one when I knew I could come to play for Arsenal, I was happy. I know the staff, I know some players, the Brazilian ones.
