Kevin Campbell has said the he considers 26-year old Arsenal player Gabriel Jesus as special talent. Campbell was speaking to Highbury Squad Youtube channel after Arsenal match against Manchester City. Not only did Arsenal beat the best team in Europe but also the did it without Bukayo Saka. This result will surely give a huge faith among the players of Arsenal. Arteta was initially without his two favourite wingers, bringing Martinelli in second-half. He made the difference by scoring the only goal of the game after a deflection from Ake.

Speaking about Gabriel Jesus, Campbell said,
“Even when he starts at number nine he ends up wide, solely because of his mentality and he wants to get on the ball and he wants to make other people better.
“But he played his position perfectly on Sunday, he was a thorn in Manchester City’s side all game.”
“His work rate is phenomenal but he causes havoc, why, because he takes up positions and uses his body so well.
“Jesus plays up top, that’s why [Bukayo] Saka starts to get more space because Jesus goes wide and Saka can come in and there’s more space.
“I thought Jesus was immense, absolutely immense. Work rate, ability, headache for the opposition, taking responsibility, I think that’s the most important words to say about him.
“He took responsibility for the team, put the team on his back at times and drove down that right-hand side, gave [Josko] Gvardiol as many problems as he could handle.
“In the end they were doubling up, tripling up on Jesus because he is just a special talent.
“This wasn’t the game where we were going to score two, three, four goals but this was the game where he needed to turn up and be that guy and he was.”
