\u201cHe brought a different energy, different belief, different threat, a different fear for opponents. And he did it in a really natural way. He contributed hugely to the step we made last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last six or seven months for Gabi, with the long-term injury he had and the amount of football that he missed, he came back in pre-season and he started to get his rhythm again – and then he had another injury. So we have to build him up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arteta said he loved the \u2018chaos\u2019 that Jesus brought to Arsenal\u2019s football after he joined in his \u00a345million move from Manchester City\u00a0 – but injuries limited the Brazilian to just 24 starts last term, and 11 goals: \u201cIn certain areas of the pitch, I love the chaos. In other areas, I hate it!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s where you produce that chaos. Gabriel draws a lot of attention from opponents with the way he plays and creates space for others. That\u2019s a big quality of his. When you sign a player that you know, who has done it in the league and has the hunger and right reasons to join us, it was a no-brainer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could see the impact he had on the team straight away.\u201d\u00a0Despite Arsenal\u2019s poor recent record at Goodison Park, Arteta insists that his side will be ready for the physical onslaught they are likely to face. He said: \u201cIn the last six years we haven\u2019t won there – so we\u2019re going to have to earn it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes you cannot avoid a battle. They have a certain style that they are extremely good at.\u00a0 But Everton\u2019s quality is not physicality. Just talking about physicality doesn\u2019t reflect the quality they have, how they build sequences and momentum. It is deeper than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
