Oleksandr Zinchenko has revealed the role Gabriel Jesus played in the Ukraine international's £32million Arsenal transfer this summer.
Zinchenko became the Gunners' fifth summer signing following Jesus' move to north London from Manchester City, joining Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta's side come into the season opener against Crystal Palace off the back of a brilliant pre-season that has fans very optimistic ahead of a busy 2022/23 campaign.
Technical director Edu has been hard at work behind the scenes strengthening the Arsenal squad, with more signings expected before the transfer deadline. Kieran Tierney is set to miss the start of the season as he recovers from injury, whilst Nuno Tavares has joined Marseille on-loan with Zinchenko set to play a key role in Arteta's team.
