Joe Cole has raved about Arsenal and Brazil international striker Gabriel Jesus on LADbible TV ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup
The former Liverpool and Chelsea player believes that Arsenal star Jesus is an “elite” player.
Cole made the comments while looking at the attacking players that Brazil have in their squad for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
Neymar, Vinicius Junior, Richarlison and Jesus are among the forward options for the former world champions.

Cole said: “For me, you know, when you see players get 100 caps for certain countries. To get a cap for Brazil, especially if you are a forward, you know straightaway that you are one of the elite players in the world, like Vinicius, Neymar, Jesus.”
Starring at Qatar World Cup
In our view, Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus could be a star for Brazil at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Now, of course, it remains to be seen if the £265,000-a-week (Spotrac) striker actually starts for Brazil in Qatar.
Even if he does not, the former Manchester City striker could make a massive impact as a substitute.
Jesus has not been scoring too many goals for Arsenal lately, but his overall performance has been brilliant.
The striker dribbles past opposition players, creates chances for his teammates, makes the right decisions with his passes, and is a problem for the opponents in and around their penalty box.
