The announcement of Gabriel Jesus' knee injury placed a rather large dent in Arsenal's hopes of winning the Premier League title, with the summer arrival crucial to how Mikel Arteta's team play. While a long-term injury to Erling Haaland or Harry Kane would be detrimental to Man City or Tottenham respectively, the Gunners were able to call on a natural backup with the aim of lessening the impact of Jesus' absence.
With 20 days occurring between the confirmation of Jesus' successful knee surgery and Arsenal's Premier League return fixture against West Ham, Eddie Nketiah, the man set to fill the lofty shoes of Jesus, was understandably the main topic of conversation.
Arteta firmly backed his man to succeed after playing a key role in him signing a new long-term contract but others were less confident on his ability to lead the line for the Premier League leaders.
