Gabriel Jesus will cause problems at Arsenal – Merson

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has said that Gabriel Jesus’ return from injury could cause problems at the club.

Jesus made his return to Mikel Arteta’s squad during the 3-0 win at Fulham on Sunday.

The Brazil international picked up a knee injury during the World Cup in December and had to undergo surgery.

In his absence, Eddie Nketiah has started upfront for Arsenal, while Leandro Trossard also arrived from Brighton.

Merson has now hinted at selection headaches for Arteta.

He told Sky Sports: “Gabriel Jesus coming back is a bit of a problem for Arsenal because the lad will want to play – he didn’t sign to be a bit-part player like he was at Man City.

“It will cause problems in time but at the moment it’s like another signing.”
