Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has settled in quickly at the Emirates Stadium, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

The 56-cap Brazil international has starred in pre-season for the Gunners, and Jones is expecting him to continue having a massive impact on Mikel Arteta's squad.

How has Jesus' Arsenal career started?

It's easy to get carried away during pre-season, with games more about fitness rather than the results themselves.

But it's hard not to be impressed by the start Jesus has enjoyed since making the £45m move from Manchester City last month.

In his first game in red and white, Jesus needed less than 90 seconds to make his mark after coming off the bench to fire home against Nuremberg.

With Arsenal trailing 2-0 at half-time, the striker's introduction, which saw him grab a second, was the catalyst for a 5-3 comeback win in the second half.

Jesus then made it three goals in two games with another sumptuous finish against Everton in the club's first game of their pre-season tour of the US last weekend, before he was also heavily involved in Bukayo Saka's second.

He'll obviously be judged on the goals he scores when the new Premier League season gets underway, but Jones reckons the signs are good for Arsenal.

What did Jones say about Gabriel?

He told GIVEMESPORT: "We will have to wait and see whether he can continue to deliver, but the signs are so good right now and we know that he's going to be so key to this team, not just his goal output, but the way he's gelling this team together and the other players around him."

Can Jesus score 20 Premier League goals next season?

Jesus only hit double figures twice in his five full seasons with Manchester City, which suggests that scoring 20 might be slightly optimistic.

However, the most minutes he ever played in a top-flight campaign was 2,059, which is less than 23 full matches.

So, when you put that into context and realise that Jesus scores a Premier League goal every 160 minutes, which is better than one every two games, there's no reason why he can't hit the 20-goal mark providing he stays fit, especially considering he could be the club's penalty taker, even though Bukayo Saka ended the season with the responsibility.
