The arrival of GABRIEL JESUS in the Emirates will add some “hotness” at Arsenal, according to Hollywood star and top “Gooner” Idris Elba.
Jesus, 25, joined the Gunners from Manchester City on a £45m deal and has been on fire during pre-season with four goals in four friendlies.

Elba, 49, is sure the striker will make North Londoners’ football that much more appealing with some much-needed ‘dynamism’.
The star actor added that the Brazilian international’s presence in attack will boost the confidence of his team-mates after last season’s bitter end saw Arsenal miss out on Champions League qualification.
Elba told talkSPORT: “The signing is definitely going to put a bit of sexiness, a bit of dynamism into the team.
“A striker enters and is worth what he says in his number. I think that will always make the guys feel much safer.
“I still think the team last season was strong, the push in the fourth quarter was very exciting, even though we didn’t get where we wanted. But I’m still 100 percent Gooner.”
Elba added that it is imperative that fans support Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta in the coming season.
The Beasts of No Nation performer insists he is “100 percent” behind Arteta and is willing to be patient as he is still a young manager.
Elba added: “We have to give the boy a chance. Mind you, he’s a young manager and he’s not an old guy who has a lot of cups behind him.

“He is a fairly young manager in the scheme of things. You can’t hit the energy from him.
«From what he inherited to what he has come to now, you have to give him a chance. I’m with him 100 percent.”
