Arsenal have confirmed Gabriel Jesus has left the club to join La Liga champions Barcelona.
The Brazilian has brought an end to his four-year spell with the Gunners as he heads to the Nou Camp before the closure of the transfer window later today.
His time in North London was eventful and never really reached the heights it could have, but Jesus is set to depart the Emirates Stadium as a Premier League champion and a fan favourite for his contributions during his Arsenal career.
Gabriel Jesus leaves Arsenal
Jesus has signed for Barcelona for a reported €10million with a further €4m in add-ons while the Gunners will also hold a 20% sell-on clause for any future move he may make from Catalonia.
Multiple reports revealed on 30 August that Hansi Flick's side had reached an agreement to sign the 64-cap Brazil international from their English counterparts and he travelled on Monday to complete his medical and all formalities before completing the move.
The transfer is now officially confirmed and it sees Jesus leave Arsenal after spending the last four years in North London, having played a huge part in the club's transition from European spot challengers to title contenders, but failing to build on a successful first season in the capital.
Jesus joined Mikel Arteta's side from Manchester City for £45m ahead of the 2022/23 campaign and was tipped to be the Spaniard's new first-choice striker as he took the number nine shirt following Alexandre Lacazette's departure on a free transfer.
He made a great start to life as the Gunners' talisman, scoring five times in his first nine Premier League appearances to help his side mount an early lead at the top of the table, but he suffered a drop in form in front of goal ahead of picking up a significant injury at the mid-season World Cup.
The former Brazil international returned to action later that season and ended his debut term with 11 goals in 36 appearances as his side narrowly missed out on the title to his former club Man City.
Kai Havertz's arrival in 2023 saw Jesus challenged for the starting striker spot and further inconsistency in his performances and fitness saw him struggle to hold down a place in the team for the next three years.
While he did end his time at Arsenal with a Premier League title added to the four he won with City, he failed to reach the potential he was expected to in the English capital, scoring just 32 goals in 123 appearances.
Jesus now leaves the Gunners to end his four-year career in red and white and while it wasn't as successful as many thought it could be, he departs as a firm fan favourite who was crucial in the club turning their luck around.
