Mikel Arteta reveals the moment he found out that Arsenal had won the Premier League and says Arsenal must continue to 'reinvent' themselves ahead of the Champions League final. (2:20)

Newly-crowned Premier League champion Gabriel Jesus of Arsenal has revealed that a day doesn't go by when he doesn't think about returning to his boyhood club Palmeiras.

"I think about it every day, I keep an eye on them," the Brazilian forward told ESPN.

"It's my dream; I've already made it clear that one day I'll return, I just don't know when -- whether it's today or tomorrow -- so, yes, I think about it every day."

Gabriel Jesus, 29, has a contract with Arsenal until June 2027.

He has scored five goals in 26 appearances for Arsenal since returning to action in December after an 11-month absence due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

Asked about his attachment to Palmeiras, the club where he won the Copa do Brasil and a league title before leaving in 2017 to join Manchester City, the Brazil international said: "It's a club I'm very fond of, I'm a passionate fan. I've said it many times and my choice when I return to Brazil will always be Palmeiras," Jesus said.
