Oleksandr Zinchenko has been speaking glowingly to Sports Direct about his Arsenal teammate Gabriel Jesus.
Gabriel Jesus praised by Arsenal teammate
Well, in a Football Nightmares segment from Sports Direct ahead of Halloween, the Ukraine international was asked which one of his Arsenal teammates will give opponents sleepless nights this season.
Zinchenko didn’t hesitate to name Jesus as that man, having also worked with the £91,000-a-week Brazil international at Manchester City.
The 25-year-old said: “This should be Gabriel Jesus. I know him very well and he never stops. He’s a real fighter.”
Zinchenko has played 98 games alongside Jesus for both Manchester City and Arsenal, with the pair recording a phenomenal points per game average.
In those 98 outings, the duo have guided their side to 2.43 points per game, winning four Premier League titles as a result.
It’s fair to say that Jesus has already given a few defenders sleepless nights so far this season, scoring five goals in eight Premier League appearances – he has also provided three assists.
Arsenal must pinch themselves over Jesus & Zinchenko deals
In our view, Manchester City were fools to sell Jesus and Zinchenko to Arsenal.
The pair are serial winners in English football, with one FA Cup and four League Cup successes to go with their four Premier League titles.
They have brought a winning mindset to the Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners now having a newfound steel about them when the going gets tough.
If Mikel Arteta goes on to win the Premier League this season after his side’s fine start, Pep Guardiola will surely regret strengthening his old assistant’s team so much.
