In a transfer that will total £45m, Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar have wasted no time in bringing their number one target to the Emirates with pre-season kicking off next week.
Romano also suggests that an announcement will follow the medical tests, suggesting that we could have official pictures of Jesus in a red shirt from Wednesday.
We already know that Jesus will take the #9 shirt when he arrives, meaning an immediate replacement for the departed Alex Lacazette has been secured.
Arsenal tend to take their time when it comes to things like this, ensuring that all photography, videos and interviews are ready to go for a full announcement day.
The news comes at a perfect time with Arsenal kicking off their pre-season schedule from next Friday 8th July with an away trip to German opposition, FC Nurnberg.
That means Jesus should have just less than a week to gel with his new teammates at London Colney, as he prepares to fight for the coveted centre forward position.
