What Gabriel Jesus did to Bukayo Saka ahead of Arsenal's North London Derby vs Tottenham

Arsenal's forward players have shown a telepathic understanding so far this season. The Gunners' starting attacking quartet - Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus - have helped Arsenal score 17 goals in seven league games, the third highest total in the division.

What will please Mikel Arteta is that all four players have contributed to the effectiveness of Arsenal's attack. Saka has five goal contributions in seven games, Martinelli has three, Jesus seven, and Odegaard three, but in one less game.

Every department of Arsenal's attacking unit is clicking, and that is a huge reason as to why they sit top of the Premier League with 18 points accumulated from a possible 21. It's often said that if players have good relationships off the field, then they have a better relationship on it, and that appears to be the case with Arsenal's attackers, particularly between Saka and Jesus.
