Incoming Barcelona signing Gabriel Jesus has moved to reassure the club’s supporters regarding his wellbeing. This comes amid widespread concern regarding the general fitness levels of the Brazilian in Catalunya’s capital…
Frontman Jesus is of course set to be unveiled as the latest addition to Hansi Flick’s Barcelona squad at any moment. After the Blaugrana came up short in their pursuit of first-choice target Julián Alvarez, the Arsenal man was identified as the ideal cut-price stopgap solution.
Jesus in turn touched down in the city which he can now call home earlier today. And one of the 29-year-old’s first moves was to assure fans of his new club that he is fully fit and raring to go.
Jesus spent a large part of his stint in Arsenal colours dealing with injury problems, restricting him to just 84 league appearances across four seasons.
Drawn on his fitness at present after taking his place in front of the media in Barcelona on Monday afternoon, the 64-time capped Brazil international therefore insisted:
“My knee? It’s perfect!”
