Writing on Instagram, Romano said: "Gabriel Jesus joins Arsenal on permanent deal, it’s now 100% done and completed: here we go! Arsenal had a new direct contact with Gabriel’s agent Marcelo Pettinati @energysports13 & his partners Paulo Pitombeira and Caca Ferrari, full agreement reached on personal terms.
"Gabriel Jesus will sign until June 2027 as new Arsenal player, his main priority since long time - deal is now all completed and 100% done. Man City already accepted final proposal for £45m guaranteed fee received from Arsenal, as revealed here on Friday.
"Six clubs approached agents of Gabriel Jesus but his priority has always been Arsenal - director Edu and Mikel Arteta, key to complete the deal. Arsenal will announce Gabriel as third signing after Matt Turner and Fábio Vieira… and then it’s absolutely not over yet."
