Gabriel Jesus Names 2 Arsenal Players He Is Delighted to Have as Teammates

• Gabriel Jesus has admitted that he is delighted to play alongside Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli rather than playing against the duo
• While the three football stars are teammates with the Brazil national team, they have never had the opportunity to play together at the club level
• Jesus' recent move to north London will now afford him the opportunity to team up with his fellow countrymen

New Arsenal summer signing Gabriel Jesus has named the two players he is delighted to have as teammates at the Emirates.

Jesus recently sealed a sensational transfer move to Arsenal to end his five-year stay with Manchester City.

The Brazilian attacker is evidently happy at his new home and is buzzing about the prospect of playing with Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinellis.

While the three are already teammates with the national team, Jesus is delighted to finally link up with Magalhaes and Martinelli at the club level.

"I’m so happy with him, [Martinelli]. He went to train with us in the national team [in the summer of 2019] and was in the Copa America in Brazil. We saw him and his qualities, and he can do things other players cannot," Jesus said as quoted by Metro UK.

Asked what it was like facing Magalhaes, the 25-year-old said:

"Difficult! He’s so strong. I have played against him a couple of times. He’s a very difficult defender, but has the quality to play as well."

Meanwhile, Jesus is expected to fill the shoes of Alexander Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Both Aubameyang and Lacazette prominently lined up for the Gunners upfront before they departed from the club in January and at the end of last season.

The Gunners are said to have stepped up their efforts to sign the Belgium international after sealing the transfer of Gabriel Jesus.

They are likely to face stiff competition from Man United in their pursuit of Tielemans, with the Red Devils also keen on a move.
