Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that Gabriel Jesus is bothered that he is not scoring goals for the Gunners at the moment, as quoted on BBC Sport.

Arteta made the comments after Arsenal’s win against FC Zurich at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening.

Kieran Tierney scored the only goal of the match.

Arsenal won 1-0.

Brazil international striker Jesus started the match, but the summer signing from Manchester City failed to score Again.

Jesus has not scored in eight matches now, and Arsenal boss Arteta has said that he is bothered by it.

Mikel Arteta on Gabriel Jesus not scoring for Arsenal

Arteta said about Jesus: “It does bother him for sure [Gabriel Jesus not scoring for eight games].

“When he scores two he wants to score four. Today he had a couple of good chances.

“But what he generates for the team is amazing. Last week he gave three assists. Today he was involved in every action again. The goals will come.”

Staying positive

In our view, Arsenal fans should stay positive about Gabriel Jesus despite his goal-drought.

Yes, the striker is not banging in the goals at the moment, but he is playing well, is involved in the game, and is providing assists.

The Brazilian has scored five goals and provided five assists in 12 Premier League matches for the Gunners so far this season.

Jesus has also given one assist in five UEFA Europa League appearances.

We believe that it is only a matter of time before the 25-year-old striker starts scoring again.
