Thierry Henry sends clear Arsenal message to Mikel Arteta amid January transfer dilemma
Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has sent Mikel Arteta a timely reminder of Gabriel Jesus' quality amid speculation linking the Gunners with a new centre-forward.
The north Londoners currently have two No.9s at their disposal in Jesus and Eddie Nketiah after allowing Folarin Balogun to be sold to AS Monaco in the summer. The pair have managed to score only six goals between them so far this season with Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard outscoring them.
Arsenal's continued lack of a prolific centre-forward has resulted in an array of players being linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in the January transfer window. Victor Osimhen's uncertain future at Napoli has led to speculation tipping him with a big-money move to the Premier League while Ivan Toney continues to attract attention.
Arteta has always remained confident over the strikers at his disposal and Tuesday night's Champions League win over Sevilla was a perfect example of why the Brazilian is the perfect fit for the Spaniard's system.
Jesus partnered Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in attack to help the Gunners move top of their Champions League group. The former Manchester City man put in a Man of the Match performance in Spain with an excellent assist to Martinelli and great finish himself.
His performance at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium has earned him plenty of praise with Henry delighted with Jesus' display against Sergio Ramos. Speaking to CBS Sports, the north London icon explained how important he is to Arsenal in their attempt to win the Premier League.
