Breaking News: Gabriel Jesus Sends Blunt Message to Mikel Arteta Over Role at Arsenal
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has delivered a candid message to manager Mikel Arteta, making it clear that his focus is not on scoring goals at the moment. In an unexpected statement, Jesus revealed that he has been playing through personal struggles that have affected his on-field performance, particularly in front of goal.
“I’m not hiding it anymore,” said Jesus. “Don’t expect goals from me right now because I’m dealing with some things that have made it difficult for me to be at my best.”
The Brazilian forward, who joined Arsenal in 2022, has often been deployed in a more versatile role under Arteta, contributing in various attacking positions. However, his goal tally has been inconsistent this season, leading to questions about his form. Despite this, Jesus remains committed to supporting his team in other ways, such as through his work rate and link-up play.
Arteta, known for his tactical flexibility, is said to understand the situation and is focused on getting the best out of Jesus, irrespective of his goal-scoring numbers. The Arsenal boss is reportedly offering the striker the space and support he needs to regain his full confidence.
Fans will be hoping the Brazilian can soon return to his prolific best.
