Arteta must axe Arsenal dud who Thierry Henry would “love” t…

There’s no escaping it now: this season has been a disappointing one for Arsenal so far.

After two consecutive seasons at the top of the Premier League table, the Gunners look to have fallen far behind this year and as things stand, they are six points behind league leaders Liverpool, who also have a game in hand.

Now, Mikel Arteta’s side have been really unlucky with injuries and been on the wrong end of some overzealous refereeing decisions. Still, most of the team’s problems stem from their own performance.

Several stars have suffered a serious dip in form so far this season, including a big-money signing who Thierry Henry claims he would love to play alongside.

Arsenal players performed poorly

So before we discuss this player, it’s worth checking out some of the other players who have been disappointing this season, starting with Gabriel Martinelli.

Now, the sad thing about the Brazilian winger is that he has had a poor season following last year’s poor performance. Only involved in 13 goalshis poor performance this season is not surprising.

Former Ituano gem just now Four goals and two assists He has made a name for himself in 22 games so far and looks similar to a player who was nearly unstoppable in 22/23.

It feels like the 23-year-old has almost completely lost his ability to take on opponents, and on the rare occasions he’s beaten a defender this season, he’s often either missed a shot or misplaced a pass.

Unfortunately for Arteta, the player he preferred at the end of last season, Leandro Trossard, to the Guarulhos-born gem has also been a bit out of control this year.

The Belgian ace player also just won Four goals and two assists 22 games, a far cry from the sensational result 17 goals and 2 assists He did it last season.

Additionally, the former Brighton ace has also made poor decisions or been a bit greedy when he has found himself in dangerous situations this season, to the detriment of the team.

Overall, both wingers have caused problems for the manager this season, although they still bring more to Henry than one of his highly-priced teammates he once praised.

Arsenal star Arteta must be sacked

So, straight to the point, the Arsenal man in question is none other than Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilian striker joins the club for about £45m summer 2022 He made a big impact on the team in his first year, scoring 11 goals and providing seven assists in 33 games.

However, the former Manchester City ace underwent knee surgery midway through the season and although he remained productive post-match, some of his sharpness and agility was noticeably gone.

Nonetheless, Arsenal and Premier League legend Thierry Henry was full of praise for the 27-year-old at the start of the following season, told cbs sports “I would love to play with him” and “everything he provides and does for the team is second to none.”

However, as the season progresses, the French icon’s assessment of the striker appears to be increasingly divorced from reality.

Although he ended the campaign with reasonable results Eight goals and eight assists After 36 games, he was replaced by Kai Havertz.

Unfortunately, instead of fighting to regain the title this season, the São Paulo-born Dinamo player has regressed further, and after 20 appearances mostly as a substitute, his performances have been abysmal. One goal and two assists In his name.

Furthermore, the 5ft 9in striker looks a mere shadow of his former self, with his recent performances against Fulham, Monaco and Everton having been particularly poor.

Now, if he was just a squad player then this might not be a big deal, but on top of his hefty transfer fee, he also earns a whopping £265,000 a week, making him the second highest-paid player. A player on the team, and he’s not even close to justifying it yet.

Ultimately, while Jesus is a very talented player, his form has been really poor over the past year and has shown no sign of improvement in the past few games. Arteta and co. He should be sold as soon as possible.
