“Barcelona and Arsenal have reached a deal for the Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus,” said the Catalan club in a statement, with Spanish media reporting that they paid the The Gunners about 10 million euros ($11.6m). Barcelona signed Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal on Tuesday on a deal until 2029, after they were unable to pry Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid.

It comes after BBC Sport reported that a deal for the Brazilian to move to Barcelona for a fee of £8.6m (10m euros) was close to be being confirmed. “I’m not offended,” said Gabriel Jesus when asked how he felt about being Barca’s plan B after Julian Alvarez.

When asked whether that meant the forward was leaving, Mikel Arteta said: "Personal situations, whatever they are, I think it's clear.
