Ian Wright and David Seaman agree on worrying Gabriel Jesus verdict amid Arsenal goal drought

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has failed to score in his last seven appearances for under Mikel Arteta sparking concerns over his form.

The Brazilian striker vowed to end his goal drought following the disappointing 1-1 draw against Southampton, a game in which he had many chances to put the ball in the back of the net. Jesus has shown he has the quality to be the main man in attack for Arsenal, scoring five goals and providing seven assists in 16 appearances across all competitions so far this season.

The 25-year-old is much more than just a goal scorer as his play style allows the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard to find more space and boost their own respective goal tallies, as shown in the 5-0 win against Nottingham Forest. Whilst Jesus did not get on the scoresheet himself, despite his teammates' best efforts to set up the Brazil international, his movement and passing saw him pick up two assists.
