‘In the first days when I signed here I went to a Brazilian restaurant,’ Jesus said.
‘I was waiting in my car outside, and a lot of Arsenal fans came to say welcome to the club.
‘It is different at Manchester City of course. City have had a lot of impact in the last 10, 15 years. Arsenal before that had a lot [more]. It’s different, you know.
‘I feel that welcome, the way they come to talk to me. They are supporting you to the end. Exactly [it gives me confidence].
‘I was happy with the fans at City as well, but it’s different.’
