Jack Grealish gives 'frightening' Gabriel Jesus verdict as Brazil star preps for Cameroon clash

Manchester City and England star Jack Grealish has claimed that Arsenal and Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus is 'frightening' in training.

The two played together for one season at City as the Manchester-based club's record signing went onto win his first ever Premier League title and Jesus' fourth. But following the signing of Erling Haaland, Jesus moved onto pastures new with Arsenal.

Despite not scoring since the 3-1 North London Derby win over Tottenham on October 1, he's hit the ground running in red and white as Mikel Arteta's side sit top of the table as things stand.

Jesus' contributions on and off the pitch played a massive part in the Gunners' pre-World Cup form and now Grealish has revealed just how hard he works in training. In fact, the Englishman even admitted that Bukayo Saka was shocked by just how good the Brazilian is.

"Ask anyone that's played with him – I know he's getting more recognition now, but he's the main man," he told Athletic Club momento, via The Boot Room.

"In training, honestly, he was frightening. I spoke to Saka last month and he was like, 'Jack, he's unbelievable.' Jesus' play is just this mix of proper rawness and skill. He's a lovely guy, but he's so hungry and aggressive when he plays."

Both Grealish and Jesus will be looking to return to their club's as World Cup winners, though it's the Brazilian who is favourite to come home with a gold medal.

Although he's second-choice behind Spurs' Richarlison, with Brazil already through to the last 16, Jesus is likely to be given a chance to impress from the start on Friday as Tite's side face Cameroon in their final group game.
