The Brazilian international enjoyed a sensational start to life at the Emirates, but has now not found the back of the net since the north London derby victory over Tottenham on October 1. That's not to say that the quality of his performances have declined, but his goal drought has now become a talking point. Jesus was named in the starting eleven for the visit of struggling Swiss outfit FC Zurich, but yet again failed to get his name on the scoresheet and was hauled off shortly after the hour mark. His substituion marked eight games without a goal for the former Manchester City man, something that is undoubtedly a concern for both manager Mikel Arteta and Jesus himself with the World Cup on the horizon. After the game, Gunners legend Martin Keown heaped praise on Arsenal's new number nine after he skippered the team for the first time but made clear he needs to start adding to his tally of five goals as soon as possible. "I think he [Jesus] is a fantastic leader and role model at the club, he was the player of the narrative story as he played the centre forward role," Keown told BT Sport.

However, Arsenal are winning at the moment and perhaps he gets that goal on the weekend."
