Arsenal legend Ray Parlor has praised the club for their ‘brilliant’ deal after agreeing a deal for Gabriel Jesus, insisting he is the signing they need this summer.
The Gunners are set to sign the Man City striker for £45m, in a transfer that TalkSPORT says will make Brazilian Mikel Arteta the highest-paid player.
While a deal for the 25-year-old has yet to be formally announced, it marks a significant step forward for the north London side as they look to move forward with their rebuild.
After losing both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette since the turn of the year, signing a striker was always going to be a priority this summer.
And, according to Parlor, the addition of Jesus is something the club should be proud of.
Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast, the Invincibles legend said: “He’s a brilliant signing.
“The centre-forward was the area they needed to strengthen.
“We knew that [Alexandre] Lacazette’s contract was up and he was moving on, so Gabriel Jesus, getting him through the door is incredible.

“You see the photos in the newspapers of Edu hugging him, he will be delighted to have a player of his caliber and what he has done so far in his career.
“Obviously he will also meet Mikel Arteta.
“I am really looking forward to seeing how he adapts to Arsenal.
“He will have chances because that is something Arsenal do well, they create chances with [Martin] odegaard, [Emile] smith rowe, [Gabriel] Martinelli y [Bukayko] Saka from the right, so he will have chances.
“And if he starts running, I think he will help Arsenal get closer to the top four.”
