Former Brazil icon Ronaldinho has tipped Arsenal to potentially challenge for the Premier League title this season, becoming the latest of a string of names to do so. The ex-Barcelona star claimed that new signing Gabriel Jesus could be a huge part of that, believing he will show he is one of the best in Europe.
It comes after an ideal summer for the Gunners, who made five signings and spent over £100million in getting their business concluded swiftly. Pre-season preparation was ideal too and it has directly translated to competitive matches, with Mikel Arteta's men picking up two wins from their opening two.
New centre-forward Jesus has been a key figure in both, causing plenty of problems against Crystal Palace on his debut, before grabbing two goals and two assists against Leicester City. Discussing his performance after the game, Arteta said: "We know what Gabi can do. He scored two and got two assists and is still disappointed because he thinks he should have scored four. That’s the standard, that’s the mentality. You need to go to a different level."
