Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry has given his verdict on the club’s move to sign Manchester City’s striker, Gabriel Jesus

Henry hailed Jesus, praising the Brazilian’s goal-scoring instinct as a No.9.

The Brazil International has been linked with a move to Arsenal as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Gunners’ only striking options, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are out of contract in the summer.

Borussia Dortmund’s goal king, Erling Haaland is said to have agreed deal to join Manchester City thereby paving the way for Jesus to leave the Etihad.

And Henry is a big fan of the Brazilian’s talent who boasts five goals in his last two starts.

“What he can give offensively to the team,’’ Henry said on CBS Sports.

“We saw that he scored four goals at the weekend [against Watford]. When he is in the box, he’s one of the three that is playing, or since [Sergio] Aguero left, he has that nine instinct. He has what the number nine would smell.

“What I like about him is that when he puts pressure, whether it’s on the left, on the right or in the middle, he doesn’t have a problem defending in these situations by coming back and helping his team.”

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
