GABRIEL JESUS blasted former team-mate Yerry Mina for “attacking him and talking s***” during the pre-season not-so-friendly.

The new Arsenal striker scored a superb goal in the 2-0 win over Everton in Baltimore on Sunday.

But he was not happy with the Toffees defender’s behaviour during the match.

The pair confronted one another at one stage, with Colombian Mina, 27, aggressively gesturing towards the ex-Manchester City star.

And Brazilian Jesus let rip at his South American rival – with whom he shared a dressing room at Palmeiras in 2016.

He told TNT Sports: “You know what, I have played with Mina before in Palmeiras.

“We were so close to each other.

‘Then, after, I don’t know why he started to attack me to do something like this [pointing] on my chest and then talking s***.

“I don’t know why.

‘I don’t know the reason for him to do this.

“I am not a kid any more and I [went] straight to him as well. After we [carried] on the game and that’s all.”

Jesus has settled in quickly with his new Gunners pals, scoring twice on his debut against Nurnberg before adding another against Everton.

And the £45million forward has big hopes, declaring his ambition to win the league in his five years at the Emirates.

He added: “I always like projects in my life, I like to do things not only thinking about today, but thinking about the long term.

“I came here not to stay one or two seasons, but to stay five. So that’s my thought.

“That’s why I chose to come to Arsenal, a very big club in England, where they have a very beautiful history, and who unfortunately is dormant a little bit.

“Coming to a club that haven’t won a league for a long time and that has been improving every year.

“I have this challenge of winning.”
