In recent times, Jesus' performance has been quite outstanding, not inferior to the likes of Isak and Salah during the same period, and even stronger than Haaland. In the last four games, the Brazilian striker has scored six goals for Arsenal.

However, according to former Arsenal midfielder Petit, Jesus and Martinelli are not doing enough. "Martinelli almost entered the first team at the same time as Saka but has made no progress. Jesus has been performing well recently, but he is not doing enough. Some of Arsenal's current players are not good enough to help the team compete for the championship."

With one more game played and six points behind, Arsenal is not without hope, but they need Liverpool to falter while not faltering themselves.

During the winter transfer window, Arsenal's owner will continue to give Arteta full support, and this time, they may really buy a powerful center forward.

According to journalist Rudy Galetti, Arsenal has identified the 24-year-old Serbian center forward Vlahovic as their top target for the winter window.

In the 2020-21 season, Vlahovic scored 21 goals in Serie A for Fiorentina. In January 2022, Juventus spent 83.5 million euros to bring in Vlahovic. According to Italian legendary center forward Vieri, Vlahovic is second only to Haaland among center forwards born after 2000.

However, at Juventus, Vlahovic has made little progress, which is also related to the coach's tactics. Motta is not satisfied with him and prefers his old guard from Bologna, the Dutch center forward Zirkzee, who has been like a "dud" at Manchester United this season. The environment and tactical system of the Premier League might be more suitable for Vlahovic.
