Barcelona striker Gabriel Jesus has revealed he was banned from Arsenal first-team training before he sealed a move to the LaLiga champions this summer.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta did not select Jesus for their first two matches of this season.
The Brazilian eventually ended his four-year spell with Arsenal by completing a cut-price £8.6 million move to Spanish giants.
In an interview with SportyTV, Jesus opened up on his last days at the Emirates.

“In one day, it was sure that I would have the opportunity to come (to Barcelona). I said yes, straight away, no matter what and I am so happy to be here.”
