Gary Neville tells Mikel Arteta 'brilliant' transfer finally solved Arsenal puzzle vs Liverpool

Gary Neville has credited Gabriel Jesus for the fusion of Arsenal's front-three following the Gunners' 3-2 win over Liverpool on Sunday. The 25-year-old joined the north Londoners from Manchester City in the summer in a move worth around £45million and, having already greatly impressed, it's fair to say that the striker has exceeded expectations back under Mikel Arteta's stewardship.

Jesus has featured nine times for the Spaniard's side in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards eight goals. The Brazil international's breathtaking displays have guided Arsenal to the makings of a title charge, so it's no surprise to see that he's received plaudits for his efforts - one, of course, being Neville.

Speaking on Sky Sports, the former Manchester United defender attributed the Brazilian with being responsible for gluing the Gunners together. Neville noted that Jesus has been able to do what both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette couldn't, offering himself as the all-encompassing number nine that provides a link to the wide-men.
