Arsenal legend Ian Wright has urged fans to support struggling forward Gabriel Jesus, who has yet to score or assist in eight appearances this season.
Wright emphasized Jesus’s past contributions and the need for continued fan support, highlighting his significant impact since joining Arsenal from Manchester City.
Arsenal remains competitive in the Premier League, positioned as a strong contender alongside Manchester City and Liverpool, and aims to maintain its unbeaten record in the upcoming match.
The potential return of key player Martin Odegaard is a hopeful prospect, as Jesus faces pressure to regain form amidst strong performances from teammates like Kai Havertz.
Gabriel Jesus has not registered any goal contributions in eight appearances this season, which has led to increased pressure on him to perform.
Ian Wright emphasized that Jesus has been pivotal in raising Arsenal’s standards since his arrival, stating, ‘When Gabby came, he was a leveller, he levelled us up.’
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance levels and the attitudes of players, noting that they are in a competitive title race alongside Manchester City and Liverpool.
Despite his struggles, Wright called for patience from fans, saying ‘He wants to do so well and it’s just not happening right now but he needs support, he really, really does.’
Former Arsenal player Gilberto Silva highlighted the importance of not dropping points against mid-table teams if they wish to succeed in the title race.
