won 10 trophies during his five-year stay at City as he opted to reunite with Mikel Arteta, a former assistant manager at the Etihad Stadium. Meanwhile, Jesus has opened up on the role Edu played in taking him to the Emirates Stadium in an interview with
Goal, he said regarding Edu’s impact in his transfer:
“In my life, I always liked projects. When Edu came to talk to me, I was so happy with the ideas of the club. The way they want to go, the things they want to do.
“Then I was pretty sure I would come to Arsenal. But after I talked to Mikel, I was 100 percent sure. Because I trust in him. Because I trust in this big club. And I trust in myself and the players as well.
“There is a lot of talent here. Very good players. And young players. Like me, I'm still young. So everyone is together in this. Like a family. That is what I want.”
After the transfer of Erling Haaland from Dortmund to
Manchester City, Jesus no longer had a place in Guardiola's team and therefore joined the rival team of the Premier League. He joined City from Palmeiras in 2018 and scored 8 goals in 28 Premier League games last season.
He said on fitting into the Arsenal squad:
“I have already worked with Mikel, so I I know his ideas a little bit. I know the way he wants to play. I think it is quite similar to Pep Guardiola and I think that fits well. I’ve come to try to help the guys and I’ll try to learn with them as well. As a family.
“I am so happy with the group. It was good to see everyone when I joined the club for the first day.
“It is a big family here. We are going to play well, train well and at the end of the season, I am pretty sure, we are going to win something.”
On his ambitions with
Arsenal, the Brazilian added:
“First of all, [I need] to adapt,” he said. “Adapt to the club, adapt with the players, the way they play and the way they are. After this, everything else will come naturally. This is football. Football is the same everywhere.
“Then at the end of the season I want to win something. Win trophies. Like everybody here at Arsenal. That is the only way to make myself a name in the history of this big club.
"It is a big club with a big project. When Edu explained to me what they want for the future, I was so excited to join Arsenal because I love the project.
“I want to win trophies. I want to win everything.”
The Arsenal’s new signing will wear the number 9 from next season, which was worn by Alexandre Lacazette before his move to Lyon. The shirt was formerly worn by Arsenal’s great Thierry Henry.
“
When you say Arsenal, you mean Thierry Henry,”
said Jesus.
“Thierry is unique, he is one of the greatest players ever.
“But I don’t want to be the new Thierry Henry. I want to make myself a name in this club’s history.
“I will be there: 90 minutes per game in the box, trying to score, trying to help. Not only with goals, also with assists. Covering the ball. Running, in my style. Never stop.
"Helping my team, helping my team-mates. Yeah, that’s me.”
