William Saliba's Arsenal journey<\/h3>\n

Mikel Arteta has insisted that Gabriel Jesus \u2018changed our world\u2019 when he arrived at Arsenal last summer – but has hinted he may be benched again at Everton because the north Londoners must \u201cbuild him up\u201d post-injury. The Brazilian is now fully fit again after recovering from knee surgery that saw him miss the start to this season.<\/p>\n

But Jesus has seen new England prospect Eddie Nketiah stamp his claim for a place in the Gunners\u2019 attack in his absence. Jesus though scored after coming off the bench against Manchester United in Arsenal\u2019s last game before the international break.<\/p>\n

He also featured off the bench in both of Brazil\u2019s matches against Bolivia and Peru. With the Gunners\u2019 opening their Champions League campaign on Wednesday against PSV Eindhoven, Arteta could be tempted to shuffle his pack in attack at Everton tomorrow (Sunday).<\/p>\n

Arsenal travel to a ground, Goodison Park, where they have lost on their last three visits and are winless since 2017. Arteta said: \u201cGabriel changed our world last season. He is a tremendous player, really important for us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\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
