Simon Jordan says Jesus is being outshone by ‘phenomenal’ Zinchenko

Simon Jordan has told talkSPORT that Gabriel Jesus is looking like a Rolls-Royce in the early stages of his Arsenal spell, but is still being outshone by Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The Gunners are the early pace-setters in the Premier League. They have won their opening three games. And while they have not yet played any of the top sides, the manner of their performances have been particularly exciting.

Jesus will have been the star of the show for many. The Brazilian has left supporters gasping at times with the moments of brilliance he has produced.

He looks to be absolutely perfect for the striker role at the Emirates. However, it is another player who has really caught Jordan’s eye at the start of this campaign.

Like Jesus, Zinchenko made the switch from Manchester City. Some may have anticipated that the Ukraine international would fill the void in midfield. But he has been superb at left-back.

‘Looks absolutely phenomenal’

And actually, Jordan claimed that he has been even more impressed by the Ukraine international than he has by Jesus.

“At this moment in time, Gabriel Jesus looks like a Rolls-Royce in a very confident and buoyant Arsenal side. It is early days, but he has obviously been given the mantle and the pedestal and the belief that he’s the main man. And he’s taking advantage of that,” he told talkSPORT.

“At £45 million, in the market, it looks good. Arsenal look good.

“But I think the person who looks absolutely phenomenal is Zinchenko.”

When you consider some of the deals which have been done in the Premier League this season, you have to say that Arsenal have produced a masterstroke signing Jesus and Zinchenko.

The pair have arrived for a combined £77 million. They are proven winners. And they are already having a huge impact on the side’s fortunes.

They are two of the most in-form players in an Arsenal side that is flying right now.

But Jordan feels that it is Zinchenko who is leading the way.
