Gabriel Jesus, a new striker for Arsenal, has informed manager Mikel Arteta of his preferred position.
The former Manchester City player claims that his favorite position to play is center forward in the number nine position.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of City, occasionally used Jesus in wide positions.
But the Brazilian wants to be Arsenal’s main offensive weapon the following week.
“I’m a #9! I’m a striker and I thank God every day that I can be alive and that I can play in three or four different positions.
“But I think my position is nine,” Jesus said during his unveiling on Monday.
Jesus netted 95 goals in 236 appearances during his five-year spell at The Etihad.
