Can Gabriel Jesus lift Arsenal's No 9 curse? From Lucas Perez and Francis Jeffers to Park Chu-young, the Gunners have suffered some huge flops in the famous shirt... but will the Brazilian be a fan favourite like Lukas Podolski?

Kevin Campbell, Paul Merson, John Hartson, Nicolas Anelka, Davor Suker, Francis Jeffers, Jose Antonio Reyes, Julio Baptista, Eduardo, Park Chu-young, Lukas Podolski, Lucas Perez, Alexandre Lacazette and... Gabriel Jesus.

The former Manchester City striker Jesus has completed a £45million move to Arsenal on a five-year deal and took just 90 seconds to open his account on debut against Nurnberg.

The Brazilian star is wearing the No 9 shirt, joining a list of illustrious and not-so-illustrious players to wear the famous number in the Premier League era.

Some have said the shirt number is cursed after several high-profile flops, with 'fox in the box' Francis Jeffers, South Korean Park Chu-young and Lucas Perez among the big disappointments.
