Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has praised the summer signings of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City, believing they have been an important part of the Gunners' impressive Premier League form. After winning several trophies at Manchester City, Zinchenko and Jesus joined Arsenal at the start of the season, arriving for £32million and £45million, respectively.
After a dominant win over Wolves last Saturday, Arsenal extended the gap between themselves and Manchester City to five points at the top of the Premier League, with the Qatar World Cup pausing the domestic season until December 26.
This means that the Gunners will be top at Christmas and, although far fewer games will have been played by the time the holiday arrives, on only two occasions since 2009 have the team top at Christmas not gone on to win the Premier League title.
