Gabriel Jesus may not save Arsenal with £50m striker not reliable finisher at Man City

Jesus is coming! But will the Brazilian striker resurrect Mikel Arteta's Arsenal?

He showed just about enough during five-and-a-half seasons with Manchester City to suggest he will bring something for the Gunners' sizeable £50million outlay.

The common argument from his supporters is that he would have flourished if only Pep Guardiola wasn't the kind of manager who likes to rotate his team every week. More game time would have equated to more goals.

But equally, there remain serious question marks over Jesus's finishing ability, his best return in a Premier League campaign is just 14 goals and had he performed better there would have been no need to buy Erling Haaland.
