REVEALED: Gabriel Jesus decided to leave Man City after Pep Guardiola picked Oleksandr Zinchenko as a FALSE NINE for a crucial Champions League tie… which made him call his mother in tears

Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus has revealed the decision that made up his mind to leave Manchester City last season after five-and-a-half years at the England champions.

The Brazilian striker was a valuable part of Pep Guardiola's side as they fought and won four Premier League titles, scoring 95 goals in his 236 appearances in sky blue.

But Jesus took the decision to leave the storied club last summer, joining Arsenal to play under Man City's former assistant coach Mikel Arteta.

The 26-year-old played a pivotal role in Arsenal's title charge during their last campaign, with the club topping the table for large swathes of the season.
