‘We still feel his presence’ – Bukayo Saka reveals injured Gabriel Jesus’ key role in Arsenal dressing room after Gunners’ Premier League victory over West Ham


Bukayo Saka has revealed the role Gabriel Jesus has played in the Arsenal dressing room despite being sidelined with injury.

The Gunners’ summer signing is set to be out for around three months after suffering a knee problem during the World Cup with Brazil.

Such news has come as a blow for Arsenal considering his form throughout the season so far, and the Gunners looking to maintain their seat at the top of the Premier League table.

However, teammate Saka has now spoken on the striker’s influence on the rest of the squad despite being out of action.

Speaking to Amazon Prime after their comeback win over West Ham on Boxing Day, he said: “Of course they [Jesus and defender Oleksandr Zinchenko] are both champions so they bring that belief that we can win every game and go all the way.

“Every game they are telling us how important it is. Today Jesus wasn’t even on the pitch but we can still feel his presence.

“He was speaking to me in the dressing room and the other boys, which is so important.”

Arsenal claimed all three points over the Hammers on Boxing Day with a 3-1 victory at home.

Said Benrahma’s penalty put them behind, but goals from Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah sealed the turnaround.

The result sees them remain top of the Premier League, and they now sit seven points clear of Newcastle in second.

Arsenal are fighting for their first title since 2004 and have so far exceeded expectations.

With the January transfer window just round the corner, Arteta could look to strengthen for the rest of the season.

Mykhaylo Mudryk has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates, and Arsenal have made a bid of £57million.

It’s an exciting time for their fans, although there is still a long way to go until they reach Premier League glory.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
