"But, is Gabriel Jesus the world-class striker Arsenal needs?"
The question that Arsenal supporters found themselves questioning when debating the No.9 that was the person to come through and take the mantle for the forthcoming season. From viral clips of commentators preferring Richarlison, to question marks raised over Jesus' own desire to play the striker role, it is fair to say doubts were rife.
However, (and yes, it is still early), Gabriel Jesus has been nothing short of sensational since he stepped onto the field in Nurnberg and rocketed in his first Arsenal goal within 90 seconds. His pre-season continued to be brilliant, and he has been the catalyst for Arsenal’s opening two victories of the new Premier League campaign.
