Gabriel Jesus lavished praise on his Arsenal team-mates Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, calling the duo ‘machines’.
Jesus joined Arsenal in the summer transfer window, leaving Man City to sign for the north London outfit.
The Brazilian international has been impressive for Arsenal so far this season. He has already racked up five goals for the Gunners in the Premier League this season. On top of that, he has also provided four assists in the English top flight so far in the 22/23 campaign.
Jesús has also recorded an assist in the Europa League, where he has played three games this season. However, he has not scored a goal in the Europa League so far this season.
“They are machines” – Gabriel Jesus on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli
Arsenal face PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League group stage in their next game. Before the match, Jesus was asked about Saka and Martinelli.
He described the pair as machines and said he’s lucky to play with the duo, who he says have a lot of energy.
“They are machines!” Jesus said when asked about Saka and Martinelli. “I joke with them because I think I have a lot of energy but when I train with them I realize I’m not close because they don’t stop. They are still young, so I am lucky to play with them.”
Jesus also addressed his goal drought. The Brazilian international has failed to score a goal in his last five appearances for Arsenal. Jesús said that he is part of football but insisted that he will try to end the drought in the next game.
“It has happened before and I am sure it will happen again. That’s soccer,” Jesus said. “I don’t want it to be like this. I want to improve. The next game I will try again and 100% I will score.”
Meanwhile, Arsenal have had a stellar start to the season. The Gunners top the Premier League points table with 28 points from a possible 33 after 11 games. Arsenal are also two points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who have 26 points.
In the Europa League, Arsenal have won all four of their games so far in the competition this season. They lead Group A with 12 points from four games. They will try to extend that winning streak when they take on PSV next.
