Gunners legend Gilberto Silva calls Arsenal 'one of the best clubs in the world' and slams their 'unacceptable' failure to make the Champions League... but he does see Gabriel Jesus as a potential 'good move for both parties'

Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva said it was 'unacceptable' for his former club to be finishing outside of the Champions League places but felt Gabriel Jesus would be a good signing for them.

The Gunners were well-placed to finish fourth with three league games to go, but losses to arch-rivals Tottenham and Newcastle meant they missed out on European football for the first time since 1996.

'Do you know what's frustrating for all Arsenal fans? I think for me it was, they missed out the opportunity to be in the Champions League,' Silva told talkSPORT.
