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.

Arsenal face Premier League rivals Everton in their latest pre-season fixture of the summer.

Scroll down for all of our latest updates from the M&T Bank Stadium with the game due to kick-off at 12:00am UK Time. Cedric whips a ball into the box looking for Gabriel Jesus and he goes down after being nudged in the back. Arsenal ramping up the pressure here as Everton squander possession in a dangerous area, Gabriel Jesus seizes possession and forces a fine save from Pickford. Arsenal come so close to breaking the deadlock as Granit Xhaka hits the post from a corner and Gabriel Jesus can't follow up on the rebound. Poor defending from Everton at a corner and the ball falls to the Brazilian at the back post and he makes no mistake. It has been a good first-half for Arsenal and Gabriel Jesus in particular who has been excellent.

Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny and Albert Sambi Lokonga all compete for the same position at the base of Arsenal's midfield, leaving Xhaka to a number 8 role. "There is reason why the Arsenal manager needs support in that role. "Mikel Arteta has been looking at additions at left-back and central midfield in this summer transfer window. "Should he play in midfield, a role he undertakes regularly at international level, Zinchenko would compete with Xhaka at Arsenal - and a closer look at their respective heatmaps last season shows that the two play in the same area of the pitch, even though the Ukrainian played at left-back and the Arsenal man operated from midfield. The 24-year-old has stated his desire to reunite with Erik ten Hag and a deal in the region of £45m is being finalised. Arsenal have been in the market for a left-sided defender and were trying to sign Manchester United bound Lisandro Martinez from Ajax.

A disappointing loan at Roma seems to have knocked the stuffing out of Maitland-Niles somewhat. He has played on the left flank but when Martinelli is in form and running at his opponents, Arteta won't want anyone else there. The ball fell to him from a corner, he took one touch and bang. A solid performance from the centre-back, who could be a real asset for Arteta going into this season. A penny for Smith Rowe's thoughts as he watched Arsenal run rampant against Everton with Odegaard as captain. But he took advantage and showed killer instinct.
