Arsenal 6-0 Sevilla: Gabriel Jesus scores a hat-trick in the Gunners’ resounding win

Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick on his home debut to take his pre-season tally to seven goals before Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta declared: “We want more.”

The Brazilian striker, who signed from Manchester City for £45m, stole the show from fellow debutants Oleksandr Zinchenko and French defender William Saliba, as well as newly appointed captain Martin Odegaard.

But Arteta insisted he wants to add more firepower to his side ahead of Friday night’s opening game at Crystal Palace.

Asked if he was satisfied with his attacking options and summer spending of £117m, the Spaniard replied: “We still hope to do something else if the market allows us.”

We have also seen some movement in the other direction. We just want to get the perfect balance and implement the plan that we wanted from the beginning (of the transfer window).

“Whether we can or not, I don’t know, but I’m happy with what we’ve done so far.”

Arteta was also delighted yesterday to discuss the appointment of former Real Madrid midfielder Odegaard as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s permanent replacement as captain.

The 23-year-old Norwegian shared the captain’s armband with Alex Lacazette after the Gabonese striker was sacked and sold to Barcelona last January.

Substitute Eddie Nketiah completed the scoring when he completed a fast break move.

“I am proud to make this announcement because I think he is a very good person to commit to the club,” Arteta said.

‘Since he has been here for 18 months, he has represented the values ​​of this football club in the best possible way. He has the desire and ambition to take this club to another level.

‘His desire to contribute, to push this team forward and the way he is respected by everyone within this organization is evident.

“He is the captain of his national team and I thought it was the right decision.”

Arteta also confirmed that he has allowed Portuguese left-back Nuno Tavares to sign a season-long loan with French side Marseille amid reports that defender Héctor Bellerin will rejoin Real Betis.

He did not confirm Bellerin’s departure, but said: ‘We don’t know, we go on a case-by-case basis. For Nuno’s development, the move will be very important.’

And while every touch of defender Saliba’s home debut with a clean sheet was cheered by a capacity of 60,000 spectators for this Emirates Cup match, it was Jesus’ goals that had the home fans making noise. His seven goals have helped ensure five wins from five pre-season games since he left City.

“You expect someone to get going, but they have to adjust to so much joining a new club, new city, new teammates,” Arteta said.

He has done it quickly and naturally. The other players look for him with and without the ball and he connected really quickly and naturally. I am very happy with him.’

Bukayo Saka scored twice and substitute Eddie Nketiah was also on the scoresheet after Jesus connected with Odegaard when he scored his goals in the 13th, 15th and 77th minutes.

Arteta concluded: ‘Martin improves Gaby and needs threats against him. You can find that final pass at any time in closed or open spaces. I think the connection is already there.
