Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger recently shared his thoughts on Gabriel Jesus, the Brazilian striker who joined Arsenal from Manchester City in 2022.

During his debut season with Arsenal, Jesus struggled to make a significant impact, scoring only 11 league goals across all competitions. This season, his performance hasn't been much better, with just four goals in the Premier League and some missed games due to injury.

Speaking with his former player Freddie Ljungberg for Viaplay Sports, Wenger expressed his opinion that Arsenal currently lacks a player of Thierry Henry's caliber. He suggested that Jesus' frequent injuries have hindered his ability to consistently contribute to the team's success.

Wenger emphasized that truly exceptional players, like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, maintain a high level of performance year after year, playing numerous games without interruption.

In summary, Wenger believes that while Gabriel Jesus has potential, he needs to improve his consistency and durability to reach the elite level of players like Ronaldo and Messi.
