Arsenal summer signing Gabriel Jesus has shared his admiration for new teammate and countryman Gabriel Martinelli.

In an interview with Podpah on YouTube, Jesus was asked about Brazilian widemen who could be included in the World Cup squad later this year.

Martinelli has three senior caps for his country, and if he has a good start to next season, he could well in the party for Qatar.

Jesus looks almost certain to be included if he is fit, although he battles with Tottenham new-boy Richarlison for a starting spot in the side.

Arsenal new-boy Jesus praises Martinelli

“Woah,” was Jesus’ response when Martinelli was brought into the conversation.

“Martinelli. He’s an animal. Animal. He never gets tired!”

Martinelli has a huge future and his progress at Arsenal has been hampered by fitness problems early on.

Without those, you feel he would be even further ahead than he is now, and he is still a massive talent, who gave Trent Alexander-Arnold real problems against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium last season.

The prospect of the pair linking up in the famous red and white shirt is a mouth-watering one for Gunners fans next season.

Firepower was an issue for Mikel Arteta last season and the Brazilian duo can certainly help their manager out with that if they stay fit.

Martinelli could well be pushing harder to get into Brazil’s squad, while Jesus will want to go to Qatar in as good form as possible.
