Arsenal's 'perfect' star deemed far better option than Chelsea's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Gabriel Jesus is superior to Chelsea's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Arsenal star, who has hit the ground running in red and white, replaced Aubameyang as the Gunners' foremost frontman this summer.

Aubameyang was stripped of the Gunners' captaincy last November and later completed an ugly late transfer to La Liga giants Barcelona. His move to Spain was short lasted, though, as the Gabonese striker eventually moved to Arsenal's London rivals Chelsea on Deadline Day in early September.

On the other hand, following Erling Haaland's summer switch to Manchester City, Jesus moved to north London. The Brazil international has hit the ground running in red and white and is already a fan favourite at the Emirates stadium. Having scored 5 goals in the Premier League already, Jesus is one of the most in-form strikers in the Premier League and his leadership has helped guide the Gunners to the top of the table after just eight games.
