Tottenham attacker Lucas: Gabriel Jesus is Arsenal's danger man

Tottenham attacker Lucas Moura admits Gabriel Jesus is Arsenal's danger man for Saturday's derby.

With both teams playing so well, it promises to be one of the best North London Derby's in years, but according to Moura, Tottenham will have to be at their very best to prevent Jesus from having a huge impact at the Emirates on Saturday.

"The kid started to score and doesn't stop. First on the personal side, on the friendship side, I'm very happy for him. He is a very deserving boy, of great quality," Moura told Stats Perform "He left a big club and went to Arsenal, and he's doing very well there. The whole team is doing very well. Arsenal has been playing very well. Without a doubt, it will be a very good match for the fans to watch.

"It's going to be a very interesting game and we have to prepare well. It's a direct fight, against a rival, so it's going to be a tough game. Even more so at their stadium. But I think we have the quality to get there and fight for the three points.

"It's the kind of match that every player likes to play, every fan likes to watch, full of Brazilians on the pitch, and we'll see what happens."
