Arsenal boss Arteta: Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus are ruthless winners

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hailed the impact of former Manchester City pair Oleks Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus.

Arteta has hailed the winning focus of the pair that is inspiring those around them.

“These two player players have been inspired by top players, top professionals, ruthless winners for many years," says Arteta.

“When they came to us, the role they took on was different. Now it's their turn to do the same and inspire those younger players in our squad to do the same and to show them what it takes to win.

“I have seen it every day since they arrived. The younger players look at the level of detail, hunger and dedication that you need to keep winning from Gabi and Oleksandr. It has inspired them.

“I also sense something different with the fans and the atmosphere at our home games this season has been incredible.

“This cannot be the end, of course, We need to keep giving the fans more reasons to be even more present and more supportive of the team.

“But at the moment, we cannot ask anything of them. The atmosphere they're creating every time we play for them is fantastic and we want to continue."
