PRAISE ‘He creates chaos’ – Mikel Arteta raves about Gabriel Jesus as new Arsenal signing stars in pre-season win over Everton
Gabriel Jesus has hit the ground running at Arsenal as he scored again in their 2-0 pre-season win over Everton.
The Brazil striker was signed for £45million this summer from Man City and already has three goals in two games.
The 25-year-old scored past Jordan Pickford in the 33rd minute, before Bukayo Saka also netted against Frank Lampard’s side.
Manager Mikel Arteta was raving about his new striker after the match.
“He creates chaos, he creates uncertainty and he’s always on your shoulder. He’s always there to nick the ball off you, he’s always in front of the goal. He’s a real threat and this is what we need,” said Arteta.
“The moment we give the ball away he is straight away active and putting pressure and getting his team behind him. He has a lot of leadership skills, I can see straight away what he’s doing with the boys and he’s the type of guy that we want.
