Arsenal fullback Tierney: My first words to Gabriel Jesus...

Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney is happy calling Gabriel Jesus a teammate.

Tierney has revealed the first thing he told Gabriel Jesus following his arrival was he's glad he no longer has to play against him.

Tierney told the Daily Mail: "The signings have been amazing, like Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.

"The first thing I said to him was: 'I hated playing against you!'

"So I'm buzzing he's on our team now. There is a feeling in the camp, a different hunger, a different desire.

"Even the 6-0 win over Sevilla on Saturday.

"It's a pre-season friendly but you can only beat what's in front of you. We've got enough to be optimistic this season."
