Obviously, it was a big moment for him to come in an Arsenal shirt in the States and play in front of the crowd and he did well. The way he has settled in, he’s an extraordinary character, a lot of personality and he’s great at what we want. But they are not just 9s, they have all the qualities for the way we play, they are fantastic. He has a lot of leadership skills, I can see straight away what he’s doing with the boys and he’s the type of guy that we want. He’s a real threat and this is what we need. So it’s what is available and what the team needs. But not on his own sometimes, but don’t close that door because Gabby in relation to what the opponent does in certain games we are going to have to use him in different positions. It depends, look at Harry Kane, look at Haaland. I think at the moment there are certain strikers that are available, they grow, they have their moments in European football. We were a threat all the time, we had a lot of bodies attacking. They are looking for him, he’s generating chances, good connections around specific spaces we want to exploit with him especially, and yeah, we’re really happy. We understood where the spaces were and the execution was really good. I think the first half we were really good, really intense.

It could be a case of one in and one out at Arsenal in the coming days as Mikel Arteta continues to shape his squad for the 2022/23 season.

For the second time in as many pre-season matches, Gabriel Martinelli was shifted to left-wing back. Ben Godfrey flew in on Jesus but the Brazilian had the last laugh. Perhaps the sole highlight of a miserable 45-minute cameo? The £45million forward finished emphatically from Cedric’s corner before laying on Saka’s second having coming short to link the Arsenal attack.

Then just before the break, Ben Godfrey left Gabriel Jesus in a heap following a strong tackle. Even though it was a friendly between Arsenal and Everton, the game had somewhat of a competitive edge to it. To be fair, he hasn't looked out of place so far as he impressed there against FC Nurnberg and after moving into that position in the second half against Everton threatened to score only to see his effort blocked by James Tarkowski.

Mikel Arteta has said William Saliba is in his plans for next season and challenged him to establish himself as a first-team regular at Arsenal.

Arsenal transfer news: Edu proved he would not be held to ransom over transfer fees as Manchester United secure Lisandro Martinez transfer deal.

The Argentinian full-back was on Arsenal's radar earlier in the transfer window, but he has now been confirmed as a new Manchester United player, after former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag showed an interest in his former player.

Calciomercato reports that, while the 23-year-old's existing contract is due to end in 2024, he's keen to renew, but only with an increase in salary. Chukwuemeka is entering the final year of his contract, which means Aston Villa face the prospect of losing him for nothing next summer if they don't tie him to a new deal. Juve could be able to tempt him to Turin for a fee of around €40-45m, with a percentage of any resale heading back to the Italian capital. Technical director Edu Gaspar is now working to finalise the deal, which hinges on being able to agree personal terms with the 25-year-old.

Arsenal's Gabriel is also being considered, but a deal for the Brazilian would be similarly expensive. The club are growing increasingly confident that they can get him to join them.

Arsenal transfer news: Ainsley Maitland-Niles looks to have got off on the wrong foot in pre-season as he looks to rebuild a future under Mikel Arteta.

"He believes that the opportunity to move to Rome and working under Jose is a really good one. Speaking to club officials in January, Arteta explained that he and Maitland-Niles had reached a crossroads. The Switzerland international was left scrambling as he tried to retrieve Maitland-Niles' mishit effort before the ball rolled out for a throw-in.

‘We need to improve the squad.’ ‘He creates chaos and uncertainty and is always on your shoulder, always there to nick the ball. ‘He has to absolutely keep his head down. ‘It is a matter of time.’ He appeared to relish the physical battle with Yerry Mina and the early signs suggest his bite and aggression will add a different dimension to Arsenal’s attack. I’m really happy,’ Arteta said.

The crowd seemed hyped at the match with Arsenal fans coming in droves to see the team play. For many supporters, it was likely their first time or one of the ...

From mispronouncing player names to implying that Bukayo Saka has to beat out Nicolas Pepe for the starting spot still, it was a very disappointing experience with that. Even though it was preseason it was seemingly a great experience for the American fans. For many supporters, it was likely their first time or one of the very few times they have ever gotten to see the team in person.

Neither Jesus nor Nketiah is taller than 5ft 9in but they bring an intensity to Arsenal's attack that is vital to how Arteta hopes to play.

He has developed his leadership skills a lot (since they were last colleagues at the Etihad) and I can see straight away what he’s trying to do with the boys, and he’s the type of guy that we want. “He’s always on your shoulder, he’s always there to nick the ball off you, he’s always in front of the goal. Don’t close that door because, in relation to what the opponent does in certain games, we’re going to have to use him in different positions. “He creates chaos and uncertainty,” Arteta said of Jesus, who he worked with for almost three years as assistant to City manager Pep Guardiola before taking the Arsenal job in December 2019. They are not 195cm (6ft 4in), but they have other qualities that mean for the way we play, they are fantastic.” “They have everything we need,” Arteta told reporters after the pair shared 90 minutes in Saturday’s 2-0 friendly win over fellow Premier League club Everton here in the US city of Baltimore. “First of all, they are very intense, both of them.

Mikel Arteta has found a new contender for the defensive role to further ease fears over Kieran Tierney's injury troubles.

Nuno Tavares was brought in to provide competition and support for the Scotsman last summer, but he too has encountered his own challenges with consistency. After listening closely to Arteta's instructions on the sidelines, Walters entered the fray and took up his position on the left. He met the physical demands with relative ease, looked calm on the ball and was defensively switched on in most moments.
