Arsenal summer signing Gabriel Jesus has expressed his delight with the welcome he has received from everyone at the club.

The Gunners signed the Brazil international at the start of the week, landing him from Manchester City for £45million.

And on Friday, Jesus enjoyed a dream debut as Arsenal ran out 5-3 winners over Nurnberg in Germany.

The Gunners newcomer came off the bench in the pre-season friendly.

Arsenal were trailing 2-0 at the time, but Jesus very quickly made an impact to help turn the game around.

Johannes Geis and Kwadwo Duah fired past new Matt Turner in the 24th and 29th minute respectively.

Jesus, a half-time substitute, needed less than 90 seconds to halve the deficit for Arsenal.

The former Citizens star rifled high into the net from a tight angle following a great pass from Eddie Nketiah.

Mohamed Elneny then restored parity in the 54th minute with a superb top-corner effort from well outside the box.

Two Nurnberg own goals had Arsenal 4-2 up by the 63rd-minute mark.

And though Lukas Schleimer struck back for the Germans, Jesus added a fifth with 15 minutes to go.

The Brazil international slammed home from Gabriel Martinelli’s cross at the front post.

Speaking after the game, Jesus told the Arsenal media team: “I’m so, so proud. I’m proud to be here at this big club.

“I’ve completed four or five days together with the lads, and I just want to say thank you to everyone at Arsenal because they make me feel at home.

“Everyone is talking, coming to me and saying ‘good luck, we are happy to have you here’, and I’m happy to be here as well. That makes me feel at home.”
