Arsenal confirm Gabriel Jesus exit to Barcelona

Arsenal make final Julian Alvarez decision?

Arsenal transfer news today: What's happening on Deadline Day?

Gabriel Jesus has completed an £8.6m permanent move to Barcelona from Arsenal, with the Brazilian pictured at the airport before undergoing his medical and signing a three-year contract.

The Catalan club turned to Jesus after Atletico Madrid refused to sell Julian Alvarez, leaving Arsenal's own long-running pursuit of the Argentine at a dead end.

Jesus arrives in Catalonia having fallen down Arteta's pecking order following a third significant knee injury of his career, with both Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres now preferred as central striker options.

Elsewhere, Arsenal were believed to be weighing up a late move for Lyon winger Malick Fofana as a possible replacement for Gabriel Martinelli, who is closing in on his own exit to Al-Hilal.

Mikel Arteta is understood to have held direct talks with the 21-year-old, but in a surprising turn of events, Sunderland and Crystal Palace both swooped in and are battling for a deal.

Arsenal had also been reported to be considering a late attempt to hijack Tottenham's move for Everton's Iliman Ndiaye, though that interest appears to have been overtaken by Manchester City's own accelerated agreement with the Toffees.

Meanwhile, Fabio Vieira's exit to Hamburg has been announced, Ethan Nwaneri has been confirmed as a new Borussia Dortmund player for the 2026-27 season, and Tommy Setford is being lined up for a League One loan.

Martinelli has been filmed in Saudi Arabia as his move edges closer, but it is not expected to be completed before the 11pm UK deadline.
