Gabriel Agbonlahor has claimed that Gabriel Jesus could be Arsenal’s next Thierry Henry after a very impressive pre-season.
After months of speculation, Mikel Arteta managed to convince Man City to allow Gabriel Jesus to leave the club this summer, later convincing the Brazilian that a move to the Emirates was the right thing to do.
There was some doubt that he would join the Gunners as they are not competing in the Champions League, but in the end, he agreed to that massive £200,000-a-week move to London and has shone in pre-season.
And ahead of the new Premier League season at the weekend, Agbonlahor opened up, telling Gunners fans he thinks Arteta has signed the next Thiery Henry: “I don’t really count pre-season because everyone is at different stages. of fitness, the players you play against may not be as fit as you are,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider.
“But what can be said about pre-season is that it will fit Arsenal’s style.
” You will have so many opportunities, opportunities that [Pierre-Emerick] aubameyang, [Alexandre] lace, [Eddie] Nketiah y [Folarin] Balogun were all missing, will save them.
“He will get at least 15 goals in the Premier League, guaranteed. That is huge and what Arsenal have missed.
“Over the years they have had Ian Wright, Thierry Henry, now this is the next one for Arsenal. I’m sure he’ll be on penalties, he’ll be in everything, he’ll be the talisman”.
