Arsenal face huge Gabriel Jesus transfer battle after Vinicius Jr decision affects Real Madrid

Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus has impressed since joining the club in the summer, adding an instant impact to the team at the front end of the pitch. Signing for £45million from Manchester City, the Brazilian is seemingly the perfect fit for the football that Mikel Arteta is looking to play.

His selfless nature and work rate allows him to play a part during all phases of play, while his quality on the ball and especially in tight areas such as the penalty area add that extra edge the Gunners missed last season. His inclusion in the side has brought about 12 goal involvements so far, helping the side reach the summit of the Premier League heading into November.

"Individual actions make a difference in football and Gabriel Jesus is doing them week in, week out," Arteta told Sky Sports when praising the striker earlier this season. "He was involved in the goals and his contributions to the team have been outstanding. He's still 25 so he can improve his level a lot. He is hungry enough and has huge desire to get better and better."
