Arsenal's "unplayable" star backed to make life tough for £45m ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Gabriel Martinelli has been backed to establish himself down the middle for Arsenal, even though the Gunners have just spent £45million to bring Gabriel ...

He’s a bums off seats kind of player but the idea is to create a bigger squad so he can be rested and pulled from the team sometimes to sit on the bench. After his signing was confirmed, Jesus told the club’s website: “I'm a No 9! "I think that’s a possibility and I’m sure it will be something Arteta looks at in training and in a few matches.

Copyright 2022 The Arsenal Football Club plc. “He’s all energy,” the boss said after the 5-3 win. “That’s why we brought him here,” Arteta continued, “to put the ball in the back of the net and obviously for his confidence and for him to believe in what we are doing I think it’s really important and he’s settled really well.

Five-star Arsenal in Germany: Gabriel Jesus among Gunners' top ... (Sporting News)

That five-goal outburst matches the one registered by the Gunners against Ipswich Town 5-1, as manager Mikel Arteta looks to step up his squad's preparations ...

He dovetailed neatly with Albert Lokonga, and netted a brilliant goal to level the game at 2-2. He is set to play a key role in the opening weeks of the campaign, with Saka potentially delayed in his own return, and his ability to drop deep and dictate the pace of game shows he could also challenge Martin Odegaard. Crucial goals at the back end of 2021/22 convinced Arteta of his ability to consistently score in the Premier League and he is impressing in preseason. A willingness to drive forward and link with Nketiah and Nicolas Pepe gave optimism of an improved performance after the restart. Arteta's decision to give Nketiah a new long-term contract is a crucial indicator of the Spaniard's faith in his future potential. If Jesus plays centrally this season, Martinelli is expected to retain his slot on the left of a three-man attack and his chemistry with the new man looks positive.

Arsenal player ratings vs Nurnberg: Sensational Jesus at the double ... (Goal.com)

Gabriel Jesus scored twice on his Arsenal debut as the Gunners came back from 2-0 down at half-time to beat Nurnberg 5-3 in a pre-season friendly on Friday ...

He was a constant thorn in the Nurnberg defence’s side during the second half. Couldn’t really get into the game after his arrival in the second half. Excellent on the ball and played a part in the fifth goal. His presence in midfield immediately settled Arsenal down after a poor first half. Scored an outrageous goal to make it 2-2 in the second half. Came on for Turner in the second half. Came alive in the second half following the arrival of Jesus and Martinelli. Linked up really well with Jesus, was unlucky not to score with his shot that hit the bar. Looked lively when he got on the ball, but that was all too rare during a poor first half from the Gunners. Sent one shot over the top just before half-time when well placed. Gave the ball away sloppily in the build up to Nurnberg’s second goal. Back in action for the first time since March. Looked understandably rusty and his error in possession led to the opening goal. Got involved in a bit of a physical battle during the first half and came off second best. It was a great strike from Johannes Geis, but it went straight down the middle of Turner’s goal.

Arsenal news and transfers LIVE: Raphinha transfer decision, Edu ... (Football.London)

All the latest Arsenal news as it happens in our live transfer blog on Friday.

I’ve come to try to help the guys and I’ll try to learn with them as well. Leno is the desired No. 1 of Fulham. He wants to join them. Now the clubs have to find an agreement. I know the way he wants to play. "I think it is quite similar to Pep Guardiola and I think that fits well. Certainly, Leicester would sign a replacement but so far they are waiting to understand how much they would receive as final fee from Tielemans deal. Speaking to Wettfreunde, he said: "I don't think they will come to an agreement. He's a very good player, even off the ball. The transfer window is starting to heat up and pre-season is upon us. And I think Savic is a lovely player. In the market, Mikel Arteta has already added four players to his squad. The way he played for Lazio last season I personally think he is the best midfield player in Italy.

Gabriel Jesus Scores 90 Seconds Into His Arsenal Debut (SPORTbible)

A promising start but a long way to go. The Brazilian eventually did score his second Gunners goal in the 75th minute. But the day was all about Jesus who could have had his second goal in the 58th minute. After playing a neat one two with his team mate, he lashed in a beautiful finish at the near post into the roof of the net. — 14 (@mohdars14)— 14 (@mohdars14) pic.twitter.com/65WE1GKIcY July 8, 2022 Seven minutes later Arsenal drew level after Mohamed Elneny scored a beautiful long range shot from almost 25 yards out.

Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira may prove key for Arsenal, but Marquinhos will no doubt be keen to give absolutely everything as he looks to impress Mikel ...

Even if this doesn't turn out to be the case, it seems the club has a player who possesses a bright future and we should look forward to seeing more of him later down the line. He started on the bench for Arsenal's 5-3 win against FC Nurnberg yesterday but eventually came on with 20 minutes to play and looked sharp in possession. You could argue that Marquinhos is already one step ahead of what Martinelli was when he joined the club, appearing to be physically strong which can go a long way in his quest to be involved next season.

Our academy graduates have made the trip to Germany and could feature in Friday's friendly against 1. FC Nurnberg.

Copyright 2022 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Perhaps the most recognisable to supporters of the six academy prospects, Charlie has been with us since 2015 and made an instant impact on his first-team debut last season, coming off the bench in our Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Sunderland and scoring the final goal in our 5-1 win.

And he explained what he feels Jesus will bring to his new club. “And then obviously there are his qualities, his anger to score, his willingness to be coached, to improve. He drifted in, played a one-two with Eddie Nketiah and fired high into the net from a tight angle. Arsenal started the second period fast and Jesus scored his first goal for the club in just over a minute of being on the pitch. Jesus was again involved but it appeared as if Nurnberg skipper Christopher Schindler got the final touch as the forward attempted to head the ball towards goal. The £45million striker came off the bench at half-time of the pre-season friendly against FC Nurnberg on Friday and struck almost immediately.

Jesus is quick but with a tight control to boot. He deflected Gabriel Martinelli's cross in from close range. In the 47th minute he netted after a one-two with Eddie Nketiah. All of Jesus' Premier League goals for Manchester City came inside the 18-yard box. A weakened defence was taken advantage of by the German hosts.
