Gabriel Jesus managed to score just 95 goals in 236 matches, across the five-and-a-half year he spent at the Manchester club. Having made to play most times as a winger.
Since joining Arsenal from Manchester City, Gabriel Jesus has proven to be a real goal scorer and he’s leading the team into thriump in the freshly started EPL season.
Ronaldinho who once claimed that his countryman has the ability to surpass his former teammate, Lionel Messi as the world’s best player but believes he was hindered during his time with Manchester City and how he was used in the Tuchel system.
In an interview with The Mirror, Ronaldinho showered praise on Gabriel Jesus, after the striker’s incredible start to life at the Emirates Stadium.
“When Gabriel joined Manchester City I said he would go on to be one of the best players in the world. When he was given a chance, he showed what he was capable of, but at Manchester City he was never shown the love a player of his quality deserves.
“At Arsenal he has been given the chance to be the focal point, he has been shown the love by the coach and the fans, and already he is repaying that. This season I expect big things from him, he will repay the love shown in him by showing he is not just one of the best players in the Premier League but also in Europe.”
