Arsenal have signed Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City on a long-term contract, the north London English Premier League club announced on Monday (Jul 4).

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed but British media reported the 25-year-old Brazil international was signed in a deal worth £45 million (US$54.54 million).
