Making an impact
Gabriel Jesus has hit the ground running at Arsenal and is already making a massive impact.

Jesus was brilliant against Leicester, with his mobility, movement and sharpness creating all sorts of problems for the Foxes’ defence.
The striker did not always get to play as a number nine at Manchester City, and now that he is the main man at Arsenal upfront, he is showing what he is capable of.
