Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel rejoined his old manager when he signed for Arsenal from Manchester City. He is an experienced striker having won four Premier League titles, one FA Cup, three league cups as well as playing in the final of the 20/21 Champions League.

I have been supporting Arsenal since 2010 years. Love for Arsenal instilled me my classmate (thank you, man). That was had been end of season 2009-2010 (i don’t remember those matches, but the thrill of the game delighted me). My favourite player was Cesc Fabregas. His action and character was perfect. But all changing. Interesting and promising players come and go. Even the best manager of the club Arsene Wenger leaved Arsenal.Every year, I believe that Arsenal will win the Premier League title. And new manager of Arsenal Unai Emeri can get it. I like his tactic of exhausting an opponent.

I have been following Arsenal for the past 10 years. This season I've watched all their matches. I think they will be finishing 6th this season. Arsenal doesn't spent the same amount of money as clubs like man united, man city and Liverpool spent. More often than not, premier league champion will be the club which spend more money.

I support Arsenal from Colombia.

The main reason is about David Ospina Colombian goalkeeper.

I need to learn English and also why not visit London in a close future.

I would like to assist to a match

It would be awesome and a dream come true

Thanks a lot

When i was about 8, my dad and I watched a football match at a tea shop . That was my very first time of watching the football match and I remembered the yellow kit of the Arsenal Team. There was a logo of O2 infront of the team jersey . Later, I watched most of the games Arsenal played & really enjoyed them.
There are a lot of my favourite Arsenal players. Although my all time favourite is Henry , I'll put Pires & Ljungberg on the same level as Henry.
I think , in this season , they'll finish in the 4th place. Or I hope :P
If there is any mistake in my English language, don't b bother to correct them or suggest. Thank you :D

Your English is excellent. The only suggestion that I would like to add it is always your personal pronoun must be in Capital letter
for example
I= is correct
i= is wrong

I hope you understand

I love Arsenal because this is the team that introduced me football sport from my childhood. I think the prediction is realistic but in Football anything can happen and it's still a long way to predicting the club place in the league.

Welcome to Premier Skills English, Markoni!

Arsenal are looking like they will challenge for the title this season with City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Olivier Giroud is a great player but is on the bench a lot this season. Arsene Wenger seems to prefer to play Alexis Sanchez as the main striker.
