EPL: This is what it has shown – Ian Wright tells Arteta to replace Arsenal’s top star

 


Premier League legend, Ian Wright has told Mikel Arteta to replace Gabriel Jesus as the club’s no.9.

This was after the former England star watched Arsenal fall to a 1-0 defeat in the hands of Nottingham Forest and killed every hope of ever winning the title this season.

Ian Wright pointed out that the Gunners need a number nine in place of Jesus who joined the Gunners for £45 million from Manchester City in the summer.

The 26-year-old Jesus has scored 10 goals and has provided seven assists across competitions this season.

Wright, a former striker himself, pointed out that his old club needed a new number 9.

“I think what it has shown in the last four or five games is how hard it is to chase down Man City. But you do need the squad to be able to do it.

“Today you saw. Arsenal needed something different, perhaps a focal number nine,” he said.
