Arsenal's new £45m signing Gabriel Jesus has revealed that Edu sold him on the club's project, as the Brazilian forward is keen 'to win everything' and emulate Gunners legend Thierry Henry

Gabriel Jesus has revealed that Edu played a huge part in him swapping Premier League champions Manchester City for Arsenal this summer.

The Brazilian forward joined the Gunners for £45million on a five-year contract to help bolster Mikel Arteta's squad ahead of their return to European football this season.

Arsenal's technical director and fellow Brazilian Edu was influential in helping the north London outfit beat off numerous clubs to the signature of the 25-year-old by convincing him on the club's project.
