Gabriel Jesus says Arsenal teammate Oleksandr Zinchenko is a key man in keeping spirits high inside the squad.

The pair both arrived at the Emirates last summer from Manchester City and have helped transform Arsenal into Premier League leaders.

Speaking to Footballers Lives on TikTok, Jesus said: “I think Alex [Zinchenko] is the king of joking.

“All the time he just jokes with someone. One day he was like saying things you know, joking like 'ah, I won four Premier Leagues you know and then the last one I give to you'.

“He says; 'that last one, last season, I came on against Villa, we were 2-0 down'. He came on and honestly he changed a little bit the game you know because he received the ball, attack and he gave an assist.

“He just said that 'I gave you one trophy, one Premier League, because of me, you have four'. I said 'listen, okay, I accept that but in four Premier Leagues, you only start 20 games'. He wants to kill me."
