Gabriel Jesus has labeled Arsenal teammate Gabriel Martinelli as an 'animal'. The Brazil compatriots have linked up at club level for the first time after the former Manchester City striker's £45million transfer to the Gunners.
And it's fair to say that they've hit it off. Jesus has enjoyed a fruitful start to life with the north Londoners, scoring three goals in two pre-season starts. Mikel Arteta was eager to sign a new talisman this summer following the exits of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The 25-year-old has bedded in well with his new colleagues, and Martinelli has set high expectations regarding what the Arsenal boss demands from Jesus - on and off the pitch. Speaking on the Podpah Podcast, the Brazil international said of his new teammate: "Woah! Martinelli – he’s an animal. An animal! He never gets tired!"
