Gabriel Jesus brands new Arsenal teammate "animal" after making big first impression

Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has already left his mark on new teammate and fellow Brazilian Gabriel Jesus.

The Gunners bolstered their attacking options by signing Jesus from Manchester City after Mikel Arteta pushed to sign a new No 9 following several notable departures. The Spanish coach inherited a young Martinelli when he took over from Unai Emery back in 2019 and the 21-year-old has developed at an eye-catching rate.
