I d be amazed if he doesn t score at least 20 goals in the league - Arsenal legend makes bold claim about Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel Jesus scored eight goals in the Premier League last season. legend Charlie Nicholas believes will score at least 20 goals in the Premier League next season as he nears a move to the Emirates Stadium. Jesus is Mikel Arteta's No.1 priority in the centre-forward role this summer, with the Gunners boss eager to lure the Brazilian from . The City striker is edging closer to a move to the north London side with a medical all that's required to wrap up the transfer. Jesus will reportedly wear the No. 9 shirt and can expect to become a main player in Mikel Arteta's frontline. Charlie Nicholas has backed this sentiment, tipping the Brazilian to score at least 20 league goals next season. Nicholas told : “Whether Gabriel Jesus is the kind of player Arsenal need right now is entirely down to the individual opinion. Nicholas touched on the type of striker Mikel Arteta requires, adding: “Arsenal really need a finisher, someone who gets into the box. But with the way Mikel Arteta wants to play, I don’t know whether a number nine can be like that. That’s why Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was such a good goal scorer. He wasn’t a proper nine, he was a number 11 playing off the flanks with his pace." The former Gunners forward then raised his concerns over the Brazilian's time at Manchester City but believes he will flourish at the Emirates Stadium. He continued: “I’m very mixed in the Gabriel Jesus debate. Under Pep Guardiola he wasn’t a favourite and didn’t always play, but if they get him at a decent price, I’d be amazed if he doesn’t score at least 20 goals in the league for Arsenal. “That’s what Jesus likes to do. He likes to play around the edge of the box, with a lovely burst of pace, and that’s what Arsenal miss. It would be a very good signing if they could nail him down.” Gabriel Jesus vs Richarlison in the Premier League
