Ronaldo agrees with Mikel Arteta on Arsenal star labelled 'one of the best in the world'

Brazilian football legend Ronaldo Nazario has labelled Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus as one of the "best in the world" during the World Cup. The 25-year-old - who joined the Gunners in the summer - has shown plenty of ability on the domestic stage, but will be hoping he can translate that to tournament success.

With the Selecao gunning for another title to add to their growing collection, Jesus will likely have to play a role to help them reach that final goal. The striker struggled in the previous tournament for Brazil, causing concern for his future, but his comeback to the side has been praised by Ronaldo.

He told GE Globo: "Gabriel [Jesus] today is one of the best strikers in the world and much more mature than in 2018. The goals will come naturally and this concern should not cross his mind. All he has to do is get on the field and do what he knows how to do.”
