Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has expressed his shock following pointed criticism regarding the departures of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli during a hectic summer window. The Gunners boss found himself in the firing line after both players left north London under a cloud of frustration and public questioning.
Gabriel Jesus enjoyed a memorable home debut for Barcelona, marking his Camp Nou bow with a goal in a 5-1 Champions League victory over Feyenoord. The former Arsenal forward matched Brazilian icon Rivaldo's record in Europe's elite competition after netting just minutes after coming off the bench. After the match, the 29-year-old opened up about the emotion of fulfilling a lifelong dream in front of a packed stadium.
Gabriel Jesus has launched a scathing attack on the Arsenal hierarchy, detailing his frustration over the manner of his sudden departure to Barcelona. The Brazilian forward claimed he was left completely in the dark by the Premier League club before being forced to train away from the first-team squad during his final days in north London.
Gabriel Jesus has expressed his immense pride and joy after pulling on the famous Blaugrana shirt for the first time during Barcelona's dominant victory over Valencia. The Brazilian striker, who arrived from Arsenal in the final hours of the summer transfer window, was handed his debut by Hansi Flick at Mestalla.
