'He creates chaos': Mikel Arteta heaps praise on Gabriel Jesus after the Brazilian striker bags a goal and an assist in Arsenal's pre-season win over Everton

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was full of praise for his newly-signed striker Gabriel Jesus after the Gunners beat Everton 2-0 in a pre-season clash.

The Brazilian striker picked up a goal and an assist in the match in Maryland, adding to his two goals against Nurnberg earlier this month.

He joined Arsenal from Manchester City for £45 million earlier this summer on a five-year deal.
