Mikel Arteta is hugely impressed with Jesus’ impact in the pre-season.
Most supporters expected Jesus to hit the ground running in a few weeks but the Brazilian has done it in a fast and natural way.
In their last pre-season win against Sevilla, the 25-year-old scored a hattrick and has been phenomenal in the forward line.
Manager Mikel Arteta laments praise on the former Man City striker mainly because of his consistent performance.
“What [people] are seeing is that everybody, not just Gabby, plays at that intensity and that willingness to win the ball, to promote mistakes and to play in the opponent’s half as much as possible,” he said in his post-game press conference on Saturday.
“You cannot do that if players at the front are walking, they are not tracking, they don’t have that instinct and that intention to provoke things that we want and Gabby is phenomenal at that.
“His versatility is well known. Now we are using him as a nine, he can play as a winger, off the left and the right.”
