Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has given a damning verdict on Gabriel Jesus.
The Arsenal striker has come in for heavy criticism from the England legend for his lack of goalscoring.
While many Arsenal fans are happy with the work that Jesus does in all areas on the field, Shearer does not agree.
Jesus does really well to anticipate the pass and nabs the ball from James Maddison's toes," he told The Athletic when talking about a key moment from last month's North London Derby, which Arsenal drew 2-2 against Tottenham.
It leaves him in an ideal position in the middle of the goal, with space around him and the choice of aiming either side. He goes with the option of hitting his shot with the front of his foot, which is fine; it's something I used to do a lot of the time.
But this is another example of leaning back for a shot; Jesus' body and technique are all wrong. Without wishing to pick on him, he has consistently been underperforming his xG over the past few years, which tells you he's getting into good positions and isn't finishing them. Exhibit A right here."
