Arsenal striker Nketiah talks up growing relationship with Gabriel Jesus

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah says he has been getting on 'really well' with new teammate Gabriel Jesus.

The two strikers played most of the second half up front together during Wednesday's win over Orlando City.

Asked about his goal in the match, Nketiah praised the work of Jesus.

"Gabby did well in there," he said. "I think he did a little shift and it dropped and I was alert and just passed it into the back of the net. It was nice to score and it's a good feeling."

On their relationship, Nketiah added: "Yeah, we had a little chat, we've been getting on really well.

"I enjoy playing with him and obviously we've got the same celebration so we said the next time one of us score, he called me last time, so I said we can do a little link up next time.

"Hopefully, we can continue to score goals and celebrate together."
