    Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus celebrates scoring

    One of football's great underdogs, Gabriel Jesus' incredible career has seen his footballing talents go from the streets of Brazil to the Champions League and World Cup.

    Gabriel Jesus is a professional football player who plays as a striker for Arsenal and the Brazil national team.

    Born in Sao Paulo, he made his way into the professional game via street soccer and then the amateur game. His last amateur club was Anhanguera before he joined Palmeiras' youth system.

    After impressive performances for Palmeiras' youth team, Jesus earned promotion to the senior side and was then prised away by Manchester City during the 2016/17 season. The transfer was announced in August 2016 but only completed in the January transfer window.

    Jesus was part of the side when City won back-to-back Premier League titles in 2017/18 and 2018/19, and then again in 2020/21 and 2021/22.

    He was also in the Brazil squad which won the 2019 Copa America. Jesus also has an Olympic gold medal and a Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A title to his name, both won in 2016.

    After success at City, the Brazilian moved to Arsenal on a five-year contract believed to worth around £45million in July 2022.

    Starting at Palmerias

    Jesus joined Palmeiras in 2013 and was an instant hit for their youth sides. He made his senior debut on March 7, 2015 and was not immediately as prolific for the first team.
    However, in 2016, he had a superb year and was a key component in Palmeiras winning the league. Jesus picked up the award for the best player over the course of the season, the Bola de Ouro.
