Gabriel Jesus has now admitted that he is frustrated with his current role at Arsenal. Jesus who has market value of €55 million has fallen out of favour of manager Mikel Arteta.
Jesus joined Gunners from Man City in 2022 and had a good first season. But last season, he failed to make his mark and hence fell down the pecking order. Arsenal were also said to sell the Brazilian striker at obe point this summer.
Jesus stayed at North London but is now not looked upon as regular starter. He is backup for Kai Havertz and features from bench. This has resulted in him getting frustrated and he admitted that after the Inter game.
“Well, I believe that not only me, but any player, all players, want to have more minutes” – Jesus speaking to TNT Sports.
Despite the frustration, Jesus has said that he will try hard and improve. He believes that he can change the things and will try his best to help Arsenal. Lastly, Jesus said that he will leave the decision to the coach. Despite the strong mentality of Brazilian striker, he is finding it hard to improve and change Arteta’s mind.
Gabriel Jesus is finding it hard to change the mind of Mikel Arteta
Jesus is really struggling to improve at the moment and it can be seen from the Inter game. He played the whole second half but only managed to complete 5 passes. In addition, he only had 3 shots out of which none were on target.
Jesus had 21 touches out of which 6 came in opposition half. He had 0% success rate in 2 dribble attempts and 0% accuracy in 2 long ball attempts. He won only 2/5 ground duels and only 2/6 ariel duels.
On the positive side, he did make 1 tackles and 5 recoveries but it is surely not enough to change Mikel Arteta’s mind. As of now, Arsenal are very likely to sell Jesus next year. They are planning on bringing in a more clinical striker and Gyokeres, Sesko and Isak are the names linked with a move to the Emirates.
