Arsenal told to sign struggling Chelsea ace as Paul Merson issues Gabriel Jesus complaint

Arsenal have been told that they 'need a centre forward' by Gunners legend Paul Merson despite spending £45million on Gabriel Jesus last summer.

The Brazil international enjoyed a stellar debut season at the Emirates, with 10 goals and five assists to his name in the Premier League alone, but was also guilty of spurning a number of big chances at vital stages during the title run-in. It is important to note that Jesus did miss a large chunk of the campaign due to knee surgery after an injury sustained at the World Cup.

The Gunners came close to ending their 19-year wait for a league title and topped the table for 93 per-cent of the season, but were pipped to the post by Jesus' former side Manchester City during the last knockings.
