Mikel Arteta already has his own Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero amid worrying Arsenal trend

Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus has been compared to the importance of Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero since joining the club by former player Ray Parlour. It comes as the Brazilian has helped transform the side after a £45million move from Manchester City in the summer.

The 25-year-old has offered plenty of quality both on and off the ball to help the Gunners sit top of the Premier League table by the mid-season break for the World Cup. However, one key concern has been his goalscoring ability, hitting a run of 10 appearances without a goal for the club.

Despite that, Mikel Arteta has tipped him to bounce back, claiming: "That’s going to change [his bad luck], he’s getting the situations, he’s getting the chances, he’s contributing to the team an awful lot, he’s helping to win matches, the way he competes for every ball in every single action is incredible.
