Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on their new star striker, Gabriel Jesus, ahead of Friday’s English Premiership opener against Crystal Palace.

Brazilian Jesus, 25, signed on for Arsenal from defending champions Manchester City this summer for £45million and Arteta believes the striker’s contagious mentality will inspire the Gunners to improve on their fifth-place finish last season. Arteta is confident that Jesus is ready to shoulder the burned of expectation. “When you bring in top players who are coming from top clubs where they have been extremely successful over the years, they are going to expect that expectation,” said Arteta.
