Jesus of Arsenal - Is He the Messiah or Should We Look for Another?

 

Four games, five goals, three assists and leading Arsenal to the top of Premier League standing for the first time since 2014. Gabriel Jesus is averaging a direct goal contribution every 39.8 minutes

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hailed the difference Gabriel Jesus has made to the attitude of the Gunners' squad. "Jesus has become a kind of role model here and has brought champions mentality and awesome inspiration to the team as a whole."

"Jesus is that kind of player who believes he can win every game and make other players believe such kind of invincibility of their team. There is a new kind energy in the team and I hope it continues all through the season and beyond." Arteta alluded.

And in just four games Jesus has scored 5 goals and 3 assists; that's an incredible start this season.

Compare now to the start of last season - when Arsenal were rock bottom having lost their opening three games without scoring a goal - and you can understand why everyone at the club is smiling right now.

Now fans are beginning to ask if Gabriel Jesus will become the saviour of Arsenal and bring an end to the crisis that have been on even before the forced resignation of Arsene Wenger.

Gabriel Jesus signed for Arsenal from Manchester City on a long-term contract. The 25-year-old forward joins the gunners having established himself as one of the leading strikers in the Premier League in recent seasons.
