Gabriel Jesus has had the privilege of being teammates with several iconic players over the years.
The Arsenal striker shared the dressing room with players like Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Yaya Toure, David Silva and Vincent Kompany at Manchester City.
He has also played with superstars like Neymar, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Dani Alves, Marcelo and Casemiro among others in the Brazil national team.
That makes Jesus a great judge of players, and he feels one of his Arsenal teammates is guaranteed to be a legend – Bukayo Saka.
Answer honestly: Is Bukayo Saka really the best winger in the world right now?
Gabriel Jesus says Bukayo Saka will be an Arsenal legend in two years
Saka is the face of Arsenal.
The Englishman has been incredible for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta over the years and has carried this Gunners project on his back.
Gabriel Jesus has seen Saka play for nearly four years now, and he has no doubts about the Arsenal number seven’s quality.
The former Manchester City man has now claimed that people don’t realise how good Saka really is, but he feels the right-winger will become a legend in two years.
While speaking about the leaders in the dressing room, Jesus said on Rio Ferdinand’s YouTube channel: “Bukayo, sometimes I joke with him because he has started to talk now, and that is a good thing.
“He comes from the academy. In a couple of years, he will be a legend of the club.”
Jesus further added: “He’s very good. People don’t realise how good he is, but obviously, he’s the type of player that needs the ball.
“You are not going to see him dribbling past five players and scoring goals. You can see because he has this quality, but it’s not his main quality, his style.
“But at the same time, he can pass you and then put the ball in the top corner and win you a game or a trophy because he’s that good!”
Here’s every goal Bukayo Saka has scored for Arsenal. Watch it and tell us your favourite strike!

Bukayo Saka will become an Arsenal legend as soon as he wins big trophies
Saka has done more for Arsenal since he made his debut than anyone else.
To come from the academy, break into the first team and then carry one of the most challenging projects of all time on his back is an extraordinary achievement.
Saka did all of that when he was a teenager, and now that he is 24, he is on the verge of winning the Premier League and Champions League titles.
If the Arsenal number seven delivers those two trophies for the fans this season, we think he will become a club legend immediately.
