Pep Guardiola makes Gabriel Jesus comparison as Arsenal told he is 'the best' in key area

Pep Guardiola has told Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta that his new recruit Gabriel Jesus is one of the best strikers 'defensively' in world football.

Jesus, 25, has settled into life in north London with aplomb so far as demonstrated with his electric start on the United States pre-season tour. So far, the Brazilian has scored three goals from his first four outings whilst he played a big part in Eddie Nketiah's goal in the most recent victory against Orlando City.

It's a signing that has created much excitement within the Gunners fanbase already as they look to fully move on from Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang respectively. If Arsenal were to make the top four this time around, they will need their new number 9 to fire right from the off with a double digits return which was a tally that evaded all of their strikers for 2021/22.
