Gabriel Jesus
Gabriel Jesus scored 95 goals in 236 appearances at City, winning four titles, three EFL Cups and an FA Cup

The chance to be first choice rather than second fiddle is what Gabriel Jesus is looking forward to.

In his six years at Manchester City, the 25-year-old performed admirably in a star- studded squad, but the arrival of Erling Haaland caused him to move. Mikel Arteta needed a point man and Jesus looked to have grabbed the chance.

It's early days but two goals and two assists on his home debut suggest that the Brazilian is a good fit for his new club.

He is an outstanding signing for the club, according to Martin Keown. He looks like a different type of person. He moved from Manchester City to do this.

'Time to be the main man'

Kevin Campbell pointed out that Arteta has worked with the ex-Palmeiras forward and that he took the number nine shirt. He has a good idea of what kind of player he is. Jesus should be the main man at City because Haaland will be the main man there.

"He could be a real hit at the Emirates," said former City player Michael Brown. Jesus wants to be the main player and he is confident.

Jesus repaid his manager with some excellent returns after he was frequently picked for the big games.

He lost just 19 of the 121 top-flight matches he played for the club. Jesus assisted eight league goals for City in the 21st century, the most of any player at the club, and the touches he made to set up Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli shows that there is more to him than just goals.

'He's lifting our standards' - Arteta

Arteta saw Jesus at close quarters when he was a member of the coaching team at City, and he already believes that the forward will set the standards for the rest of the season.

Arteta said that he was disappointed in the dressing room because he said he could have scored four goals.

You want that mentality. It's necessary to have that mentality to go to a different level.

The standards are lifted by him. I think it's very natural, but at the same time it's impressive to do it so quickly.
