New Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus admits he'd been thinking about leaving Manchester City for two years.
Gabriel has been superb for Arsenal since his summer arrival.
He told Podpah podcast: "I'm a person that thinks a lot. I've been thinking about [leaving City] for one or two years. The best decision that I could have made is to be here at Arsenal.
"I needed to play football with a smile on my face again. My mother watched our game [against Orlando City] and called me to say, 'I can see you're different, you're playing happy!' I got emotional hearing that.
"Everybody at the club has received me so well. I'm two or three years older than most players here but they look at me as a very experienced player. I like that. I like to be a role model for other players."
