The 25-year-old has officially put pen to paper on a contract with the Gunners after passing a medical last week, and was unveiled as the club’s newest signing on Monday morning.
The Brazilian is Arsenal’s fourth arrival of the transfer window following the acquisitions of his compatriot Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira and Matt Turner.
Jesus is expected to earn £264 000 (R5.2 million) a week with the north Londoners, almost tripling what he was earning with the Citizens.
If reports are to be believed, the forward is now Arsenal’s highest earner, surpassing Partey, who is currently earning £200 000 (R3.9 million) in wages.
Following the departures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, not only is a berth in the Arsenal starting XI almost guaranteed for Jesus, but the club has also availed the funds for him to be handed his lucrative contract.

Club-record signing Nicolas Pepe completes the top three highest earners at Arsenal, with the likes of Ben White, Eddie Nketiah and Kieran Tierney all featuring behind him.
Despite earning £140 000 (R2.7 million) weekly, it is reported that Ivory Coast international Pepe could soon be on his way out of Arsenal, with the winger seemingly being deemed surplus to requirements by manager Mikel Arteta.
Saka, on the other hand, is one of the club’s lowest earners, taking home a measly £30 000 (R594 201) a week despite being one of the team’s top performers last season, although it is believed the club and the player’s representatives are working on a new deal for the England international.
