Former Aston Villa star, Gabriel Agbonlahor, has urged Gabriel Jesus to step up and deliver for Arsenal.
The former England international said the former Manchester City star should be doing more for the north London side and take advantage of the absence of Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Agbonlahor said he was surprised at Jesus’ failure to score goals or provide assists in his last 10 appearances for the Gunners.
He wants the Brazil International star to get back to his best and do more for Mikel Arteta’s side when they need him.
“I think they’ve got a big problem with Gabriel Jesus. His form, he hasn’t scored or assisted in 10 appearances this season,” Agbonlahor told talkSPORT.
“When he first signed, he got 11 goals and seven assists (all competitions) in his first season in 2022-23. Last season, in 36 games he got eight goals and eight assists (all competitions), which isn’t bad.”
“But this season, zero goals and zero assists. You know, when players are injured and not available, they’re starting (Raheem) Sterling in front of him and started other players in front of him.
“[Against Shakhtar Donetsk], he wasn’t great again, taken off for Sterling before 70 minutes.
“They need Gabriel Jesus up to form, especially with your little injuries to Odegaard and to Saka, he needs to step up.”
