'I think he is a fantastic leader': Martin Keown praises Gabriel Jesus and his work-rate for the team but says the goal-shy Brazilian needs to locate his shooting boots sooner or later

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown praised Gabriel Jesus for his performance against FC Zurich - despite the Brazilian extending his dry patch in front of goal to eight games.

Jesus endured another frustrating showing in front of goal as Arsenal secured top spot in Group A of the Europa League, avoiding the same fate of their domestic rivals Manchester United in having to play in February's play-off round.

Speaking on BT Sport after the game, Keown praised the Brazilian, who captained Arsenal for the first time on Thursday, but added that the goals will need to come sooner rather than later.
