Legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo says he is confident that Gabriel Jesus will end his drought in front of goal very soon.

The Arsenal star has not scored since the North London derby at the start of October but, when asked about the 25-year-old’s predicament, Ronaldo said Jesus just needs to keep on plugging away:

“Gabriel today is one of the best strikers in the world and much more mature than in 2018. The goal will come out naturally and this concern should not cross your mind. All he has to do is get on the field and do what he knows.”

The fact that Ronaldo regards Jesus as one of the best strikers on the planet is a really big compliment. The World Cup Golden Boot winner is one of the greatest forwards to ever play the game so he certainly knows a thing or two about scoring goals.

Last month, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta revealed that Jesus is “bothered” by his scoring drought but his overall performances continue to be excellent.

The £45m summer signing from Manchester City has been instrumental in Arsenal’s improved form this campaign and, when he returns from Qatar, he will be looking to carry one from where he left off.
