Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told The Times that forward Gabriel Jesus is very demanding and is a big influence in the Gunners’ dressing room.

Jesus is injured at the moment, but The Times have reported that the Arsenal forward will be back in action in about seven weeks’ time.

Arteta has raved about the influence that the £265,000-a-week (Spotrac) Brazil international forward has inside the Arsenal dressing room.

The Arsenal boss has added that the Gunners players like him.

MIKEL ARTETA ON ARSENAL FORWARD GABRIEL JESUS

Arteta said: “He really has an impact and we need that because they follow him and listen to him and [he is] a really likeable figure in the dressing room.

“He is always around the place with a smile on his face, but at the same time, [is] really demanding, giving advice. He has been living with the team and that is sometimes rare or difficult for someone who has been at the club a short time.”

BIG PLAYER

In our opinion, Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus is one of the best players at the Gunners and has already made a massive impact at the Emirates Stadium.

Jesus, who suffered his injury while playing for Brazil at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, has been superb in attack for the Gunners and is big reason why the North London club are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment.

The 25-year-old has scored five goals and given five assists in 14 Premier League games for Arsenal so far this season.

The forward has also made two starts and three substitute appearances in the UEFA Europa League for Arsenal so far this campaign, providing one assist in the process.
