Jesus suggests at frustration with Arsenal’s role

Arsenal attacker Gabriel Jesus has hinted at frustration about his new role in the Gunners team so far this campaign, having been instructed to play wide in a few matches.

The Brazil international started on the left wing vs. Spurs and Bournemouth before being used on the right for the win vs. ex-team Man. City.

Since being injured at the beginning of the campaign, he has yet to begin a league clash as a classic forward – although he has been number 9 in Arsenal’s Champions League games.

“When I chose to leave the Sky Blues for the Gunners, Edu and Arteta discussed it with me, and I made it clear that I would like to be on the pitch as a ‘9’,” he told the media on international duty.

“This was Arsenal’s idea, for me to play as a 9, loose. This campaign has been different; we have had injuries, and in the last 3 games, I started on the wing. For a while, I thought about explaining that I want to play as a 9, but the most important thing is for our club to be successful.”
