Arsenal player admits ‘mistake’ to Mikel Arteta as pressure mounts on Ivan Toney
Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus has acknowledged making a mistake by not focusing solely on scoring goals. His lack of goals in the Premier League over the last two years has contributed to Arsenal’s need for a new center-forward.
Despite this, his recent goal has helped Arsenal secure an important 2-1 victory, aiding their push to recover ground on Liverpool. Jesus, who has scored 73 goals in a six-year Premier League career, admits his mistake and recognizes the need to ensure his name is on the scoresheet as often as possible.
He faces potential replacement in the summer, with Brentford’s Ivan Toney strongly linked with a move to Arsenal. Jesus argues that sometimes it’s about stats and other times it’s about watching the game.
He emphasizes the need to change his mindset and be more focused on scoring goals by being in the box more often. He acknowledges the importance of adapting his mindset to prevent missed opportunities from negatively impacting his performance.
Jesus states that he is now working on staying focused during the game and not getting disheartened by missed chances. He is determined to find another way to score.
The pursuit of Toney or Napoli’s Victor Osimhen will have to wait until the summer.
