Rio Ferdinand has told Gunners supporters not to “go overboard like all Arsenal fans do” over summer signing Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazil international swapped Manchester City for Arsenal in a £45m deal earlier in the summer and has settled in very nicely at the Emirates Stadium.
Jesus has started the season in good form, contributing two goals and three assists in his first four Premier League matches of the campaign.

Keys also admitted that he thinks Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is “extremely irritating” for the way he acts on the touchline during matches.
