After watching his side cruise to a 2-0 win over Everton, Mikel Arteta paid special praise to his new striker Gabriel Jesus, who made it three goals in just ...

Obviously, it was a big moment for him to come in an Arsenal shirt in the States and play in front of the crowd and he did well. The way he has settled in, he’s an extraordinary character, a lot of personality and he’s great at what we want. But they are not just 9s, they have all the qualities for the way we play, they are fantastic. He has a lot of leadership skills, I can see straight away what he’s doing with the boys and he’s the type of guy that we want. He’s a real threat and this is what we need. So it’s what is available and what the team needs. But not on his own sometimes, but don’t close that door because Gabby in relation to what the opponent does in certain games we are going to have to use him in different positions. It depends, look at Harry Kane, look at Haaland. I think at the moment there are certain strikers that are available, they grow, they have their moments in European football. We were a threat all the time, we had a lot of bodies attacking. They are looking for him, he’s generating chances, good connections around specific spaces we want to exploit with him especially, and yeah, we’re really happy. We understood where the spaces were and the execution was really good. I think the first half we were really good, really intense.

A constant livewire. While only a friendly, the defender showed what he is all about. With a goal and an assist to add to his brace from Germany, it has been a scorching start to the forward's Arsenal career. While he didn't get on the ball, he played a part in the second goal too, creating space with his run for Saka to finish. Solid night for Xhaka, got on the ball a lot and managed to hit the post but not as involved as you would normally expect. Bukayo Saka added the second, getting on the end of a ball from Jesus to make it comfortable for Arsenal.

With the Ukraine international set to complete a move to the Emirates Stadium, thus reuniting with Gabriel Jesus and Arteta - whom he knows from the Spaniard's time at Man City as Pep Guardiola's assistant - it may help to speed up the temporary departure of Nuno Tavares. Now if recent reports are to be believed, there's set to be a name added to the incomings and outgoings column very soon as Arsenal are said to have reached a verbal agreement in principle with Manchester City for the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko for a fee of around £30m. It could be a case of one in and one out at Arsenal in the coming days as Mikel Arteta continues to shape his squad for the 2022/23 season.

After his two-goal blast on his first appearance last week in Germany, Gabriel Jesus was back at it in our friendly win over Everton in Baltimore.

And then he’s the one. Copyright 2022 The Arsenal Football Club plc. He’s a real threat and this is what we need.

For the second time in as many pre-season matches, Gabriel Martinelli was shifted to left-wing back. Ben Godfrey flew in on Jesus but the Brazilian had the last laugh. Perhaps the sole highlight of a miserable 45-minute cameo? The £45million forward finished emphatically from Cedric’s corner before laying on Saka’s second having coming short to link the Arsenal attack.

Mikel Arteta has hailed Gabriel Jesus as a striker who "creates chaos" after he continued his good preseason form in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Everton.

"We will try," he said. "We both have the same intention. I can see straight away what he is trying to do with the boys and he is the type of guy we want.

‘I think he looked really confident and all that time he’s been abroad has built that confidence in him which is really important. But in football it’s about what you do the next day – what everybody did three months ago or a month ago, it doesn’t really matter. ‘He’s a proper talent and he’s shown in the last year what can do.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta can get one over his old friend and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola with his next signing as Marcelo Flores is reported to ...

Vieira, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney all trained away from the main squad with the two Gunners defenders both coming back from long-term injuries. The 18-year-old had been invited to be part of Mexico's squad for their upcoming Under-20 World Cup qualification matches but Arsenal refused to release him, claiming he would be needed for their pre-season tour. The move appears to be going ahead with Arteta ready to deploy the Ukrainian in midfield – a role he has played in regularly for his national side despite Guardiola usually playing him at left-back.

Mikel Arteta has defended his decision not to bring youngsters such as Charlie Patino and Marcelo Flores on Arsenal's pre-season tour.

But again, the market will dictate our capacity to do this.’ But we had a lot of young players as well in Germany. So I think we have the right balance.’ If you do, you have a chance to be here.’

William Saliba says being back at Arsenal "feels good", with the defender now determined to "fight" for his place.

It’s about what you do tomorrow and he’s going to have the chance to play." I hope we will enjoy good training and good matches, this which is important before the start of the season." It feels good to be back and start pre-season.

Zinchenko is set to become Arsenal's fifth signing of the summer. "I know Gabriel personally very well, and we all know him well from his time in the Premier League and being really successful here. Following the arrival of Jesus, Arteta praised those above him who completed the transfer. However, ESPN claims City were initially demanding up to £55m for the striker's signature. The former Gunners captain said: “I’m very excited. It appears Arsenal technical director Edu has managed to secure both deals for £15m less than initially expected.

MIKEL ARTETA has laid down the law to William Saliba with the Frenchman bidding for regular football this season.

"He's in the plans," said Arteta. "We cannot guarantee first-team football to anybody in this team - you can ask that question to anybody. How many players at his age play as a central defender at a big club in the Premier League?" But in football it's about what you do the next day - what everybody did three months ago or a month ago, it doesn't really matter. The Independent claim that he will ask for a permanent exit if Arteta fails to provide the necessary assurances. Gunners fans have been left to sweat on Saliba's future over the past few months, with the Frenchman in demand after a loan spell with Marseille last season. A season under Jorge Sampaoli at Marseille last term was Saliba's best to date, and he became a full French international while racking up 52 appearances in all competitions.

Saliba is now minded to stay and he had the chance to impress as he featured in Arsenal’s 2-0 win against Everton in the United States on Saturday night. The defender had been similarly keen but he wanted to clarify his future with Arteta first before making a decision. Saliba has had loan spells with St Etienne, Nice and Marseille since his move to the Gunners and Marseille had been keen to make his move a permanent one after he impressed on the French south coast last term.

What impresses me with this player is that he does both with a smile. In general, this is not the case with all Brazilians. A player who is fine is a little harder to replace or he is less at the service of the team when he does not have the ball. And it is not the first time that Arsenal have successfully persuaded Pep Guardiola's side to lower their asking price for a player this summer.

The young defender wasted no time in showing what he's capable of as the Gunners brushed past Everton on Saturday.

Last night can be just the start for Saliba at Arsenal if he wants it to be and he certainly proved that he has what it takes to be a success. Arteta has said that those who found themselves out on loan last season have "a clean start" and for Saliba, he must view it as exactly that. Speaking after the game, Mikel Arteta was equally as pleased with Saliba's display and the progress he has made over the last few months.

Always want to be on the ball and got Everton upfield with his running on more than one occasion. That was really the only way you'd know he was on the pitch. Good intent to drive Everton forward from midfield and full of running. Helpless as Saka touched home the second and was later booked for a robust tackle on Jesus. Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 6.5 Jesus scored one, created another and his movement was crucial to tying the Arsenal attack together. With the ball at his feet, however, the midfielder was surprisingly wasteful, gifting Everton a couple of half-chances. Redeemed partially with stops from Jesus and Saka. Abdoulaye Doucoure – 6.5 Brings intensity and bite to Arteta's side. American was cheered more for his local ties than any meaningful contributions. Matt Turner – 6.5

Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Arsenal still have work to do if they're to challenge for a top four finish this term.The Gunners have already conducte.

“Spurs have had a great window so it’s going to be even harder this season to get that top four and Man United fans, once again, will say that I don’t think they’ve got much chance to get top four again this season.” “These teams know that they need to keep improving their squad because it’s going to get harder and harder to challenge for the top four. While their business so far has been impressive, talkSPORT host Agbonlahor believes that there’s significant work to do if the Gunners are to close the gap on the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham.

Goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana has been working hard with Turner to get him up to speed with Arteta's demands and regularly called him while he was still playing for the New England Revolution to discuss aspects of his game to work on. Arteta is very clear that he wants his goalkeepers to be able to play out from the back and start attacks from deep with incisive possession.
