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 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

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.

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.
