How Arsenal got on in the first half of their Emirates Cup pre-season friendly clash against Sevilla at the Emirates Stadium.

Gabriel Jesus: A bit of a surprise that he did not take the penalty. Bukayo Saka: Won the penalty from which he scored and made no mistake when the ball was presented to him from close range to double his tally. Ben White: Was a bit sloppy in possession at times, lost the ball in a dangerous area shortly after Arsenal had taken the lead and would have been relieved to see it lead to nothing.

The 23-year-old skipper will lead the young Gunners into the new season with 18 months of experience under Arteta in the bank, and early signs show that he will have no problem handling the added responsibility. Sometimes an orthodox left-back, others a left wing-back and occasionally drifting into central areas, Zinchenko should have no trouble adjusting to Arteta's complex demands both in and out of possession. Marquee summer signing Gabriel Jesus gave those in attendance a real treat by netting his first goals at the Emirates in an Arsenal shirt. While experienced campaigners like Xhaka were still vocal throughout, the Norwegian was able to lead by example and put on an accomplished display. Arsenal hammered Sevilla 6-0 at the Emirates on Saturday to continue a promising run of pre-season form in front of their own fans. Putting a behind-closed-doors defeat against Brentford at London Colney to one side, Arsenal fans have had plenty of positive signs to stew over in recent weeks.

He’s a perfectionist and a really demanding boy, I know him so well, and after that he brings qualities that we didn’t have in the squad. He’s used to winning - winning is the only thing and winning in the right way. He’s also the captain of his national team and I think it was the right call, and I’m proud to announce that because I think he’s a really good person to deliver that commitment to the club. Obviously, we have recruited Oleks in that position and we have Kieran as well, which is two really strong players in that position, and we believe that Nuno’s best solution was to do that. You cannot do that if players at the front are walking, they are not tracking, they don't have that instinct and that intention to provoke things that we want and Gabby is phenomenal at that. Now we are using him as a nine, he can play as a winger, off the left and the right. You can see the way they look for him on the pitch, on and off the ball, and what he's able to transmit as well on that pitch so I am really happy. We prepared to play against a team that has been very, very successful in the last few years, that has a huge European experience and we wanted a different test. The moment we give it away it's about how the team reacts, how compact we are, how willing we are when that press is beaten to get back and be compact again.

Arsenal confirmed their decision to name Martin Odegaard as their new permanent club captain ahead of the Emirates Cup final kickoff in a major show of faith from Arteta. The home side looked to pick up where they left off after the restart, as another poacher's finish from Jesus secured a hat trick for the Brazilian, and substitute Eddie Nketiah wrapped it up in the dying minutes.

Looks like he’ll finally play a part this season. Scored both of his penalties in the Premier League last season and sent Bono the wrong way with his calm attempt in this game. Saka has firmly put his miss in the Euro 2020 final behind him as he now appears to have taken on the mantra of Arsenal’s penalty taker after the departure of Lacazette. Jesus netted his third in the 77th minute before substitute Eddie Nketiah struck late on to complete the 6-0 drubbing and put Arteta in a commanding position ahead of Arsenal's opening Premier League match of the season against Crystal Palace.

Marquee signing kept up his scintillating pre-season goal-scoring form with a hat-trick against the Spanish side, as the Gunners found themselves 4-0 ahead inside the opening 20 minutes thanks to a double from both Bukayo Saka and the Brazilian.

This campaign is set to be a big one for the Spaniard and results will be expected. He already has five-and-half years of Premier League experience behind him and is now set to enter the prime of his career. Martin Odegaard, who is officially the new Arsenal captain, seems to have already built up a relationship with Jesus. Like Wright used to have, Jesus has the pace, tight control and clinical nature in front of goal that Arsenal have been missing. Arsenal look better than ever under Mikel Arteta and that is in no small part down to the arrival of Gabriel Jesus this summer. And that is what Arteta has signed, a goalscorer.

And both he and Odegaard in particular are set to flourish after the arrival of Jesus.

We needed someone to make him look better.

Fans have their say on key players, wonderkids and weak links – and make predictions for the season ahead.

Two players from the past who would slot right in The ever-dependable Aaron Hughes for his clever reading of the game and general tidying up. Best and worst away trips I have a soft spot for old grounds - Everton is one of the best: tight with great volume. The marquee signing of João Palhinha looks a masterstroke, and Manor Solomon’s pace and trickery should be a perfect fit. Lampard having a full pre-season is a positive, but this is a team with a questionable defence (especially from dead balls), a lack of creativity, and where are the goals coming from? This is the start of a new era with new owners and a new approach – it’ll hopefully lift us after the impact of the sanctions last season. We still need a replacement for Lukaku, though, and our home form has to improve: we need to get back to the fortress Stamford Bridge used to be. Two players from the past who would slot right in Hermann Hreidarsson for passion and solidity. And Saïd Benrahma, if managed well, is a genius who can pull a rabbit out of the hat. Key players/weak links David Raya is a brilliant sweeper-keeper, Christian Nørgaard is critical in the Brentford machine and Aaron Hickey is the full-back we’ve been looking for since Henrik Dalsgaard left for Denmark two seasons ago: a quality defender who can play on the left or the right, is good with his feet and can pick a pass. And we have a good balance: players with top-flight experience and points to prove, and some emerging talents. It’s a big three months for Steven Gerrard: we have a relatively easy start and if we’re 15th in October the natives might just get a bit restless. A bit “meh” actually: the two early high-profile signings were good statements and we seem to have two decent players for every position.

Martin Odegaard, Arsenal, Alexander Lacazette, Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta. Martin Odegaard of Arsenal celebrates scoring during the Premier League match ...

Arsenal have confirmed Martin Odegaard as the club's new captain for the upcoming season. At 23, Odegaard now becomes the second youngest captain in the Premier League alongside Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly, who is also aged 23. - Arsenal's No.8 Martin Odegaard has officially been named the club's new captain for the 2022/23 season

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal and Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea are interested in signing Cesare Casadei from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window.

Chelsea are used to spending more money than Arsenal on talented and promising young players, so we are not surprised that the Blues are preparing a new offer. That Chelsea are planning to make a second bid for the 19-year-old midfielder suggests that they are very keen on bringing the teenager to Stamford Bridge. In our view, Chelsea are more likely than Arsenal to sign Cesare Casadei from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window.

Mikel Arteta says the intensity with which Gabriel Jesus leads the forward line is 'phenomenal' and it acts as an example to his teammates.

I hope I give a lot of assists for him and we go to the national team together. “Of course, he knows how to win. On what Jesus brings to the team, he added: “His versatility is well known.

The role that Jesus played against Sevilla was not that of a typical number nine, but also the reason Arsenal were able to enjoy so much success in front of goal. It was that diagonal and the subsequent movement of Jesus that earned him a goal, as he quietly worked his way back into central positions, giving Sevilla a defensive headache. Arsenal were having joy by pushing their full backs into midfield and forming a trio either side of Thomas Partey, while Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard pushed forward into the half spaces to create overloads in attack. Arteta’s side must now do the hard work, which is deploying their newfound tactical prowess throughout an entire, competitive campaign. Martinelli, Jesus and Saka occupied high and narrow positions, each blocking off several passing lanes at once by pressing the space around Sevilla’s defenders. Of course, pre-season is the acid test.
