The Brazilian forward, who joined the Gunners from Manchester City, has admitted to something other striker would not dream of
Arsenal’s Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus has made a startling revelation about his inability in front of goal that has got fans talking.
Arsenal’s Jesus admits struggles
Jesus joined Arsenal in the summer of 2022 and has scored 15 goals in 44 matches across all competitions, including 12 Premier League goals in 33 appearances.

The former Manchester City forward recently spoke about his evolving playing style while on international duty with Brazil, saying, “Today I am a more mature man, more educated, a family man. I understand football is a priority for me, and I know I need to be well to do my best, especially for Brazil.

He, however, made an unusual admission for a centre-forward, saying, “I believe that goals are not my strong point, but I score goals, I’m there to score goals.”
Jesus happy with other abilities
The Brazilian forward was also keen to point out that he was not worried about his inability to find the net consistently and just wanted to work quietly.

FOOTBALL Gabriel Jesus reveals what cost Arsenal Premier League title
The Brazilian striker is keen to avoid the woes of last season when the Gunners relinquished their huge advantage in the run-in
He said, “I did so much in the national team. When I score goals again, it’s going to happen. It’s work. I work quietly, I’m not one to respond to criticism, I’m not one to be happy with praise. I was, I won’t be anymore.”
As a true testament to Jesus’ words, the Arsenal striker has scored just once in seven Premier League matches this season for the Gunners, while managing only one goal for the Brazil national team since 2019.
Despite his lack of consistent goalscoring, Jesus is still a key player for both teams, thanks to his other qualities including superb holdup play and ability to create chances and space for other players.
