Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has taken to Twitter with a message following his impressive Gunners debut on Friday.

The Arsenal newcomer came off the bench in the pre-season friendly against Nurnberg in Germany.

The Gunners 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.

But Jesus only needed 90 seconds to halve the deficit for Arsenal.

The £45million man 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.

A great display of attacking football from Arsenal, and Jesus had very much the perfect debut.

After the game, the 25-year-old wrote “Hello Gunners” on social media, along with three emojis.

Jesus also added three Portuguese hashtags which translate to ‘gratitude’, ‘hello mother’ and ‘from/of Peri’ (Jardim Peri district in Sao Paulo).

Arsenal have certainly got their pre-season off to a flyer, scoring 10 goals combined against Ipswich and Nurnberg.

Up next for the Gunners is their friendly against Everton in Baltimore, Maryland next Sunday.
