Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has tipped Arsenal duo Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli to impress at the World Cup. Brazil kick-off their tournament opener against Serbia as they look to clinch the nation's sixth title.
The country's previous World Cup win came 20 years ago, and the 38-year-old has identified the Gunners pair as two players who can propel Brazil to glory once more. Speaking to the Mirror, Silva revealed how impressed he has been with Jesus' and Martinelli's form for Arsenal.
He claimed that they're both set to play a key role in Tete's side when called upon, shining a light on the fearlessness and arrogance which they bring to the Brazil side. Silva said: "You can see the connection they've had this season with Arsenal - it's a big reason they're top of the Premier League.
