Gabriel Jesus was important to Arsenal’s acquisition because Edu promised to restore the striker’s brilliance. Before finalizing a deal, the Gunners’ director of football spoke with Jesus and his family as well.
Edu was direct with the striker in their conversations because he is familiar with Jesus from his time as the general coordinator of the Brazil national team.
After a decline in form at Manchester City the previous season, he spoke about trying to get the best out of Jesus and filled Jesus with belief.
(I also collaborated with Gabriel from the national team,) Edu said. I went there to talk to the family because I know everyone there I know him, his family, and everyone else) he added.
Jesus scored against Chelsea on Saturday, his fourth goal in as many preseason games, demonstrating the success of the transfer thus far.
Under Mikel Arteta, Jesus has been given a significant role, and he is confident that his newfound freedom will enable him to contend for the Premier League Golden Boot.
