Barcelona have completed the signing of Gabriel Jesus on a permanent deal, BBC reported.

It comes after BBC Sport reported that a deal for the Brazilian to move to Barcelona for a fee of £8.6m (10m euros) was close to be being confirmed.

Jesus has fallen down the pecking order in recent seasons at Arsenal due to injury issues, as well as Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres being the preferred central strikers at the club.

Jesus joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022, scoring 32 goals and adding 22 assists in 123 appearances for the Gunners.

Jesus would be Barcelona's third signing from a Premier League club this summer, following the arrivals of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle and Rodri from Manchester City.

Barcelona have also been pursuing a deal for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez but Atletico have been clear of their intention to not negotiate with their La Liga rivals.
