Arsenal wing-back Oleks Zincheko says there's great trust amongst the players.

The Ukraine international admits he's closest to former Manchester City teammate Gabriel Jesus.

He told arsenal.com: “You need to trust each other, this is the main thing," says the 27-year-old. “In terms of everything, it could be on the pitch or off the pitch. You need to feel like you are a member of a family with your teammates. That's what makes this team feel special, like we are all members of a family, everyone is trying to help you, they push you in difficult moments in a positive way – every single time. That makes your life much, much easier.

“And team spirit, that's everyone being fully focused on the win in every single game. This mentality is the right way to achieve big things. We are still learning this to be honest, but we are definitely on the right road to doing this.

“We are a close group. It's difficult to choose the player I am closest to, but if I choose one then it is Gabriel Jesus – because I have known him longer than my wife! I'm joking, but I have known him for a long time!

"We both have kids now, so our schedules mean it's quite hard to spend time together as families, but it's nice to share experiences with players from different countries and cultures, though we all speak the same language, football language, which is understood all around the world.

“Actually, I have always wanted to go to Brazil, so it's nice now to have friends through football that I can ask about this country and give me advice."
