PSV Eindhoven have sent a social media message to Arsenal in which they refer to Gabriel Jesus’ trademark celebration.

Ahead of the two teams’ clash at the Emirates Stadium this week in their rearranged Europa League tie, the Dutch club posted a tweet aimed at their upcoming opponents.

The post shows former Barcelona and PSG midfielder Xavi Simmons making a phone gesture after scoring a goal, which appears identical to Jesus’. The picture was accompanied by the caption:

‘Calling Arsenal. Is Gabriel Jesus home?’

Both the Gunners and PSV are unbeaten in Europe so far this season, with a victory for either side all but guaranteeing progress into the next round. Both will be keen to secure a win so they can top the group and face an easier opponent next up.

Arsenal have been in white-hot form this season, having won 12 of their 13 encounters so far. They top the Premier League table by four points and have been able to rest key players during their Europa League clashes so far.

Gabriel Jesus has had plenty of opportunities to show off his celebrations during the season, having scored five times in his ten top-flight appearances so far. Many believe the 25-year-old striker has been the catalyst behind Arsenal’s turnaround this term since his summer move from Manchester City
