While many people agree that Gabriel Jesus is a good player and an important part of Arsenal’s system, his lack of goals is something that is always brought up against him.
Jay Bothroyd, who tweeted that the Brazil star has “never” been a striker, obviously feels passionately about this.
Since RC Lens star Elye Wahi is currently under the management of France U21 boss, Thierry Henry, the former Hale-End player wants Arsenal to sign Wahi.
Thierry Henry mentioned how the 20-year-old outdid William Saliba when he scored against the Gunners during their most recent Champions League loss, introducing the young player to Arsenal supporters.
And now because Bothroyd believes Gabriel Jesus is unqualified to fill that forward position, he wants the quick-footed striker to be wearing the Arsenal colors.

Arsenal to sign Elye Wahi?
“Jesus is a top player, but he’s never been a striker,” I declared upon his arrival. Bothroyd stated.
“Except for a star striker, I don’t want to hear about any other players joining the team.
“If not Osimhen, then Toney, and possibly Vlahovic. Even Wahi, a highly talented young player, comes to mind.
Should Arsenal make a January striker purchase?
You cannot claim that it is a priority because Arsenal has Jesus and has recently given Eddie Nketiah a new deal, demonstrating their confidence in him.
Additionally, players like Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and others are scoring enough goals to record victories.
That was also demonstrated the previous campaign, when their defense, rather than a lack of goals, prevented them from winning the Premier League championship.
Therefore, it will be interesting to observe what Arsenal does in January since it might make or break their chances of winning the title.
They have continued where they left off from last season and are currently undefeated after nine games, so there is no doubt that they will be in the fight when those crucial times arise.
