The arrival of Gabriel Jesus emboldened the supporters of Arsenal as they watched the Brazilian score two brilliant goals with the first coming within just 90 seconds of his arrival. It is still a small sample to go on, but it has not stopped some from seeing their confidence soar.
Not only the arrival of a world-class player at Arsenal but scoring a screamer can do wonders for someone’s confidence and Mohamed Elneny had the air of a man brimming with happiness after the 5-3 win over Nurnberg. He spoke after the game about the target of the club being as high as a title challenge.
“I think we pushed really hard to be top four last season but unlucky we didn’t make it,” said Elneny. “But this season we go again, and we try to win the league, to try to do as much as we can to put this Arsenal football club to the place they deserve.
