The forward will become the north Londoners’ fourth signing of the summer transfer window following the arrival of winger Marquinhos, goalkeeper Matt Turner and midfielder Fabio Vieira.

But Campbell believes Arsenal need even more additions in attack and in the middle of the park ahead of the upcoming season.

The former striker insists Mikel Arteta needs more than Vieira to “fix midfield” and advised him to continue for Leicester star Youri Tielemans.

The 52-year-old also believes another striker is needed following the departures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

Campbell told talkSPORT: “They need to fix midfield, it needs more goals, it needs more creativity, hence Tielemans.

“I still think Arsenal need an alternative striker, a great forward, someone who, when teams are banking and things aren’t going too well, someone you can fire crosses into and he can get to the end.

“I think Arsenal missed that change of alternative in setup and Jesus’ flexibility also means he can start as a nine or play wide, he’s comfortable anywhere.”

Jesus was seen walking around the Emirates in his new Arsenal kit in a video leaked online earlier this week.

The clip shows the Brazil international with what appears to be the club’s media team while wearing full kit.

The 25-year-old wore the number 9 jersey – which may put an end to the guesswork about his new number.

This comes after the Brazilian was pictured in an exclusive SunSport photo hugging Arsenal boss Edu as he arrived for his medical treatment.
