former liverpool defender Jamie Carragher Suggested Gabriel Jesus or Kai Havertz Should be Arsenal’s starting striker from now on and label these two options as ‘better players’ Victor Jockles.
Joe Kress joins the club Sale for £55m in summer Many believe the signing could be the final piece of Arsenal’s puzzle, although the Swedish striker has yet to fully settle in at the Emirates Stadium, scoring just five goals in 17 games Premier League Number of appearances so far.
The 27-year-old is in the spotlight Arsenal’s attack hasn’t quite clicked in recent weeksalthough the Gunners performed well in the last game, his performance was once again quite ineffective. Beat Aston Villa 4-1.
To make matters worse, Jesus came on as a substitute for Jokeres and scored the game’s goal in the final seconds of the game, a wonderful shot to make it 4-0.
After the game, Sky Sports commentator Carragher said he was “a big fan of Jesus”, before adding that the Brazilian or Havertz “should start ahead of Jockrez”.
Carragher explained: “One of the negatives for Arsenal tonight is that when they have a player like that, Gio Kreis shouldn’t start.”
“In a couple of games, when Jesus was faster, he should have started. He’s a better player than Joe Kress – that’s a fact.”
Jesus and Havertz have recently returned from long-term injuries, with the former scoring his first goal in more than a year against Aston Villa after recovering from anterior cruciate ligament surgery.
While Gio Cres was signed to spearhead Arsenal’s attack after a promising spell at Sporting CP, the Sweden international has failed to progress in England, with Carragher claiming both Jesus and Havertz are currently better options to lead Arsenal’s forward line.
“Some people have asked in the past whether [Jesus] “He was good enough for Arsenal to win the league,” the former England international added. “But now he’s better than the player they brought in who they thought was going to win the league for them.”
“He or Kai Havertz as a centre-forward are better players than Jokeres. When you think about the players they have on the bench, he lacks skill and quality. I think Arsenal need to improve on Jokeres, they have players like Jesus.”
