Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has been nothing short of a breath of fresh air since joining the club in the summer. His work rate fits the style of Mikel Arteta perfectly, while his quality on the ball has been clear for all to see, especially in tight and crowded areas such as the penalty box.
However after a blistering start to life in North London, his goal scoring has taken something of a downward spiral, now going five appearances without one. While this would usually be a concern in itself, it was only exacerbated by Arsenal dropping points for just the second time this season against Southampton on Sunday.
With plenty of chances going the way of the visitors, when they aren't scored, the finger is naturally pointed at the striker who is seen as responsible for doing just that. It's a similar issue faced by Arteta last season when Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were unable to find the net consistently.
