Arsenal duo, Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba, have been pinpointed by Jamie Carragher as the players that have helped changed club’s fortunes around.
After defeating Tottenham 3-1 in the north London derby on Saturday, the Gunners maintained top spot in the Premier League.
Jesus, who joined from Manchester City in the summer, has had an immediate impact, and Saliba, after spending much of the last three seasons out on loan in Ligue 1.
What Did Carragher Say About The Arsenal Duo?
Carragher has been impressed by Arsenal’s growth and believes that Jesus and Saliba have contributed significantly to their successes.
He said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football: “A lot of people thought that this season, maybe Spurs would be in the position that Arsenal are in now.
“I’ve seen Spurs got a bit of criticism, but in terms of how Conte plays, they played like a Conte team. If they’d have got the final pass right on three or four occasions, they should have gone in at half-time in front.
“But I take nothing away from Arsenal, I’ve been so impressed with them at the start of the season. The pace they play at, the football they play.
