Oleksandr Zinchenko 'wanted to kill' Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus after Premier League title joke

Gabriel Jesus has revealed that Arsenal team-mate Oleksandr Zinchenko ‘wanted to kill him’ after a joke about his Premier League title contributions during their time together at Manchester City. The former City duo won four titles during their spell at the Etihad Stadium under Pep Guardiola.

Jesus and Zinchenko arriving at the Emirates Stadium has helped transform the Gunners into title challengers this term, bringing their quality and experience in to help Mikel Arteta's side. Arsenal now sit eight points clear heading into the final nine fixtures of the season, but still have a number of obstacles to hurdle if they are to lift their first Premier League title since 2004.

Jesus was sidelined for three months with a knee injury he sustained during the World Cup after enjoying a strong start to the 2022/23 campaign. Zinchenko has struggled with injuries as well this term, but is now Arteta's number one choice at left-back and continues to prove to be a brilliant signing.
