Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has praised Marquinhos on Instagram following the match against Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea.
Marquinhos has made a post on Instagram after Arsenal’s 4-0 win against London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in a pre-season friendly in the USA.
The Brazilian forward came on as a substitute for his non-competitive debut for Arsenal against Chelsea.
Marquinhos joined the Gunners from Sao Paulo in the summer transfer window
According to Goal, Arsenal paid £3 million in transfer fees for the 19-year-old forward.
Jesus also moved to Arsenal this summer, with the Brazil international striker making the switch from Premier League rivals Manchester City.
And he was impressed by his Brazilian compatriot Marquinhos, as you can see from his Instagram post below.
Marquinhos played his role in the big win for Arsenal and showed a lovely turn to get away from Marcos Alonso.

Encouraging
In our view, Gabriel Jesus publicly praising Marquinhos is very encouraging for Arsenal fans.
Now, we know that Marquinhos is only 19 and is one for the future, and he is unlikely to play regularly in the Arsenal first team next season.
However, it seems that the teenager has already made a big impression on Jesus, and it shows just how talented and promising he is.
Arsenal have signed a gem in Marquinhos.
