Oleksandr Zinchenko makes huge Arsenal youngster claim amid comparisons to star Gabriel Jesus

Arsenal summer signing Oleksandr Zinchenko has praised teammate Gabriel Martinelli, claiming he has a huge future ahead of him in football. It comes after an impressive start to the season for the Brazilian, who will be hoping he can carry some of the momentum he picked up from the previous campaign.

The 21-year-old managed 12 goal involvements in the Premier League last time out, earning a call-up to the Brazilian senior national team too. An impressive pre-season for the youngster saw plenty of praise from new recruit and compatriot Gabriel Jesus, who told Podpah podcast: "Woah! Martinelli – he’s an animal.

"An animal! He never gets tired! [My new teammates] at the club are so hungry, they’re desperate to get this club back to winning a Premier League after 20 years. This kind of challenge excites me a lot to be here."
