Arsenal manager Arteta: We're getting the full package with Gabriel Jesus

Mikel Arteta has given a glowing endorsement of Gabriel Jesus after his move to Arsenal.

Gunners boss Arteta worked alongside Jesus at Manchester City.

The Brazilian has been recruited as Arsenal's new number nine, but Arteta insists he offers much more than just goals.

He told the club's website: "I think it's a package. Start with his character, the person, the smile and what he represents as a human being. Then he's an incredible professional, with his work ethic and enthusiasm. You will see it the first day he puts on his boots and enters the training pitch; he has the enthusiasm that he is going to create on his own on that pitch.

"And then obviously there are his qualities, his anger to score, his willingness to be coached, to improve. He is used to winning and he knows that winning is the only way to do it. I think he will set different standards at the club."
