Gabriel Jesus's favourite Arsenal players

The Brazilian is currently on a five-match goal drought, but his overall play has enabled other players to impact the game. Jesus praised Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka in particular, according to Football.London.

"They just don’t stop. They are machines, quality players as well all, And they’re still young, both 21. I am lucky to play with them."

Considering Jesus has played with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and David Silva, that is huge praise for the two youngsters.

"I joke with them. I think I am a player with a lot of energy and I run all the time, I fight all the time. But when I train every day with them, I realise I am not even close to them."

Jesus, Saka and Martinelli have scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists between them this season, according to Transfermarkt.

Jesus frustrated with Southampton draw

Sports Brief earlier reported on Gabriel Jesus voicing his frustrations, after the Gunners were held to a disappointing draw away at Southampton.

Mikel Arteta's side could not break down the resilient Saints in a tough Premier League encounter that ended in a 1-1 deadlock.

Southampton's stalemate was Arsenal's first draw since January.
