Arsenal's hopes are rising ahead of 2022/23, in no small part down to a superb debut display from new boy Gabriel Jesus.

The former Manchester City star scored two goals and forced two own goals inside his first half an hour of action for the Gunners against Nurnberg and Mikel Arteta will hope this is a sign of massive things to come.

Arteta will be determined for his men to launch into the season with the Champions League in their sights. They missed out at the end of last term, but new recruits and growing experience among their blossoming ranks will aid their cause.

Arsenal's preparations for the new campaign will take flight in the coming weeks with a pre-season schedule that includes a brief stop in Germany before a trip to the US and a one-off friendly at the Emirates at the end of July.

The race for the top four is looking more competitive than ever this season and the work that gets done over the next month could prove vital by the time May rolls around.
