Jamie Carragher snubs Erling Haaland for Arsenal star as best Premier League player this season

Former Liverpool defender and pundit Jamie Carragher has named Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus as the best Premier League player this season so far. The Brazilian has hit the ground running since joining the club this summer, already showing signs that he can be a key player for the Gunners.

The 25-year-old was signed to help solve Mikel Arteta's goal scoring woes, having failed to have a prolific centre-forward option last season. Jesus has already scored two and assisted three in his opening three Premier League games this season, showing plenty of what he has to offer.

Discussing the impact of the striker, Arteta said: "I wouldn’t like to play against him [Gabriel Jesus]. I’ve never been a defender, but I can imagine I wouldn’t enjoy it. He’s so mobile, so intuitive, always sharp and proactive to play in any moment and phase in the game, and it’s a real threat."
