Arsenal's double deal from Manchester City last summer helped spark their title push this season, adding the experience and technical quality of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to the side. The pair have been ever-present, injuries aside, and have brought an extra dimension to Mikel Arteta's system.
Zinchenko has allowed the Spaniard to adopt the inverted full-back approach, pushing into midfield to add to the build-up play from the back. Jesus hasn't only added goals, but his ability to rotate across the front three, with unselfishness and his ability to press has made the Gunners formidable this campaign.
"The boys [Jesus and Zinchenko] who have won it [the Premier League] brought something different to the team as they have experienced those moments," Mikel Arteta explained last month when asked on the duo's impact. "They know that we have to seek excellence against the opposition we play against, and it has to be perfect in everything we do to earn the chance to be there. Another thing is to win it, but we are there, and now we have to win it, so we have to be exceptional at everything we do."
