Tottenham forward Lucas Moura has been majorly impressed by compatriot Gabriel Jesus's performances following his excellent start to his Arsenal career. The two Brazilians are due to meet in Jesus' first North London Derby this weekend as Mikel Arteta's side aim to stay top of the Premier League table.
Jesus has been in fantastic form thus far this season, finding the net on four occasions already. His signing has had a huge impact on the Gunners squad, too, who are all playing at a much higher level. Arteta's men have won six of their opening seven league games and have played some fine football along the way.
Spurs have also been performing well, though. Antonio Conte's side and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are the only team's in the division that remain unbeaten so far.

With both teams playing so well, it promises to be one of the best North London Derby's in years, but according to Moura, Tottenham will have to be at their very best to prevent Jesus from having a huge impact at the Emirates on Saturday.
"The kid started to score and doesn't stop. First on the personal side, on the friendship side, I'm very happy for him. He is a very deserving boy, of great quality," Moura told Stats Perform, as cited by LiveScore. "He left a big club and went to Arsenal, and he's doing very well there. The whole team is doing very well. Arsenal has been playing very well. Without a doubt, it will be a very good match for the fans to watch.
"It's going to be a very interesting game and we have to prepare well. It's a direct fight, against a rival, so it's going to be a tough game. Even more so at their stadium. But I think we have the quality to get there and fight for the three points.
"It's the kind of match that every player likes to play, every fan likes to watch, full of Brazilians on the pitch, and we'll see what happens."
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 11 Premier League home games against Spurs, a run that stretches back to a 3-2 loss in November 2010, but Spurs sense a chance to end that long wait for an away derby-day win.
