To first caveat this story with the reassurance that Gabriel Jesus is a fantastic forward is a necessity. However, he’s not flawless and the ruthlessness that comes alongside the trials and demands of a side looking to become Premier League winners in both the short and long-term future.
Jesus has enabled Arsenal to reach a new level, not only in helping them achieve the target of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, but also go one step further and enter the Premier League title race deep into the season for the first time in more than a decade.
And yet, there is a strong argument that if Arsenal are going to be able to establish themselves in this region of the table and look to try and beat Manchester City now and in the future that the Brazilian is not enough. The obvious point to make is City replaced Jesus in favour of Erling Haaland and his 33 Premier League goals are the reason why they’ve clawed back control of the title race.
