Gabriel Jesus opens up on Arsenal challenge and new role after Man City and Brazil problems

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has claimed that he is finally "smiling again" as he continues to impress since making the switch to the club earlier in the transfer window. The 25-year-old has hit the ground running, scoring two goals and assisting two in his first two games of the Premier League.

The Gunners worked hard to land the Brazilian in a £45million move from Manchester City, beating plenty of competition to sign him as part of the project. Given his start, manager Mikel Arteta has praised Jesus for raising the standards in the squad since making the arrival.

Discussing the striker, the Spaniard said: "He's [Gabriel Jesus] still disappointed in the dressing room because he said he could have scored four. That's the standard, that's the mentality. I think it lifts the standards with the way he's training every day and the way that he's talking and the way that they are connecting."
