£45million striker Gabriel Jesus hasn't scored a goal for nine games - but Arsenal are still winning.
That's because, as Gunners legend Lauren explains, the 25-year-old Brazilian is bringing a new dynamic to Mikel Arteta 's side. In Sunday's hard-fought 1-0 victory over Chelsea, Jesus blanked again but brought a tenacity on and off the ball which has struck fear into opponents since he made a statement-like transfer move from newly-crowned champions Manchester City in June.
Chasing down Chelsea stalwart Thiago Silva to win the vital corner which led to Arsenal's winning goal, Jesus reminded everyone that he wasn't just a goalscorer but a wholly unselfish forward. Ex-Gunners right-back Lauren, who played a significant role in helping Arsene Wenger 's men remain unbeaten throughout their their historic 2003-04 campaign, saw the triumph at Chelsea as the perfect example of why Arteta chose to sign Jesus.
