Arsenal needs Gabriel Jesus as Nketiah is just not enough

Arsenal can’t rely on just Eddie Nketiah next season.

The Gunners have seen the ‘perfect’ striker in Gabriel Jesus and has already lost Lacazette this month who decided to join Lyon on a free transfer.

Gabriel Jesus has been tipped with a move away from Manchester City following the arrivals of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez in the summer.

Nketiah is on course to sign a fresh new deal with the Gunners and that would leave the youngster the only recognised first-team striker.

Gabby Agbonlahor believes Arsenal should go all in for the Man City forward.

“They have to get him, they have to get him, Arsenal,” Agbonlahor told talkSPORT as he discussed Jesus.

“He’s the perfect striker for Arsenal. [Martin] Odegaard in behind finding his little runs that he likes to make. Then you’ve got [Bukayo] Saka on the right, [Gabriel] Martinelli on the left, [Emile] Smith Rowe available.

“Get Tielemans in as well in that midfield with [Thomas] Partey and Odegaard. It just looks a lot better for Arsenal doesn’t it and they just need that striker – they can’t rely on Nketiah next season. And he’s going to be hungry. He’s going to want to play football as well. The World Cup is coming up in November. He’s going to need to be playing football – and he’s guaranteed that at Arsenal.”
