Gooners will be disappointed to see this top young talent leaving for a rival, but on the scale of things, it’s not the biggest concern for the club right now.
Mikel Arteta, Edu and co. have made a strong start to the summer transfer window, bringing in Gabriel Jesus as the club’s marquee signing of this transfer window.
Not only that, but Jesus’ agent has also revealed that Chelsea tried to hijack the deal, to no avail…
?? New insight into the Gabriel Jesus transfer. His agent, Marcelo Pettinati, tells me:
“Chelsea were one of the teams that tried to hijack the Arsenal move. They tried very hard in the final days to get him. By that point, we’d already chosen our new project.”#AFC pic.twitter.com/xLYtPe7CQL

Chelsea may have signed a promising youngster for the future in Hutchinson, but Jesus could have made an immediate impact up front.
