He scored 95 goals in 233 appearances for the Blues however his time in Manchester came to an end this summer after the arrivals of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez.
Jesus made a £45m switch to the Emirates Stadium official earlier this week as he looked for a new challenge. The 25-year-old has now explained why he chose to make the move to North London this summer.

"After this, everything else will come naturally. This is football. Football is the same everywhere. Then at the end of the season I want to win something.
"Win trophies. Like everybody here at Arsenal. That is the only way to make myself a name in the history of this big club. It is a big club with a big project.
"When Edu explained to me what they want for the future, I was so excited to join Arsenal because I love the project. I want to win trophies. I want to win everything."
During his spell at City, Jesus won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield.
