Jesus contributes to a goal every 107.6 minutes via Orbinho. However, the statistic that gives him the keys to becoming an iconic Premier League striker is the fact that he ranks fifth in Premier League history for goal involvement per minute without a penalty. The Brazilian has been completely dominant in his opening matches as an Arsenal player. So far in the Premier League this season, according to Squawka, Jesus has the highest xG in the division alongside the most goals and assists, the most touches in the opposition box, and the most take-ons completed.
A £45m fee is looking like an absolute bargain judging the 25-year-old’s start to life as a Gunner. Instead of risking spending heavily on a potential deal as Newcastle have done, Edu searched for the perfect alternative in Jesus. The Gunners were heavily linked to the 22-year-old towards the end of the last January transfer window, but a deal never managed to materialise due to concerns over his £75 million release clause, The Athletic reported. But it would be risky to bring him in for such a high price, seeing as though he is yet to experience Champions League football or compete for the biggest trophies. He currently plays for Real Sociedad and has scored 42 goals in 124 appearances for the La Liga side, showing plenty of promise along the way. Arsenal had already signed Gabriel Jesus before the start of the pre-season which has benefited the Gunners.

The Sweden international had also previously been linked with a move to Arsenal. While rival Premier League clubs continue to franticly panic buy to improve their team before the end of the window, Edu has already undertaken the necessary ground to ensure this is not the case for the north London side.Īccording to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Newcastle have agreed to a deal to sign Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad, with Spanish reports quoting a deal to cost €75million Euros (£63million), which includes add-ons. The current summer transfer window has epitomised the successful job Edu has carried out to ensure Arsenal remains at the top in the years that are to follow. However, he is beginning to show why he has been incredibly important to the Gunners’ rebuild. Edu has been heavily criticised in the past for his transfer market activity as Arsenal’s technical director since taking over in 2019.
