The Key Player in Arsenal’s Top Four Quest

Each of Arsenal’s new arrivals will have a key role to play in the upcoming campaign. It’s been a busy summer for the club but the signing of Gabriel Jesus is clearly the one to get fans excited.

There hasn’t been a revolution at the Emirates. No mass disruption to the squad has occurred but it really wasn’t needed. New arrivals in important positions should stabilise the Gunners moving forward and the club looks poised to make a genuine assault on those top four positions.

Goals win Games

There was no doubt that Arsenal needed to sign a proven goal scorer in the close season. Having lost both Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, there was an obvious vacancy. Eddie Nketiah contributed some useful goals at times but the Gunners needed experienced reinforcements.

The acquisition of Gabriel Jesus represents something of a coup. The Brazilian striker could have easily spent another season on the bench at Manchester City, picking up a medal or two at the end of the campaign.

Jesus could have also held out for a club that would offer Champions League football next season. A player of his quality deserves to be playing in the top competitions but he’ll be aiming to do that with Arsenal from 2023/24 onwards.

It’s an important season for both the club and the player but just how far can they go?

Jesus Tipped for Prestigious Individual Honour

Arsenal will be targeting a top four finish, while Gabriel Jesus will be looking to provide as many goals as possible in that quest. The Gunners are among the chasing pack in the top four betting markets and it’s a similar story in the individual options.

Markets are in place for the Golden Boot award which is given to the Premier League’s leading scorer at the end of each season. The best football betting sites as supplied by ArabianBetting.com, have Manchester City’s Erling Haaland installed as the favorite to win that Golden Boot.

Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane follow before we get to Gabriel Jesus in fourth place. Based on his scoring statistics for his former clubs, Arsenal’s new striker may well be worth considering at those odds.

As the season gets underway, the Golden Boot betting will switch to the live sections of each sportsbook. The odds will fluctuate and ArabianBetting will publish the new numbers on their website.

While assessing the figures, visitors to the site will be able to check on breaking news stories and general blog posts. Reviews of each sportsbook are supplied and it’s also possible to get involved with those markets.

Each betting site will accept new customers and many publish a generous welcome promotion. Following acceptance of a completed online sign up form, there is a choice of deposit methods that can help to cover opening bets.

Once set up as a playing customer, it’s possible to access a host of additional sports. Live betting, mobile apps and the potential for ongoing promotions may also be available. It’s a useful site to follow for any form of football betting but will Jesus save Arsenal’s season in 2022/23?

What can we Expect from Gabriel Jesus in 2022/23?

In six seasons at the Etihad, Gabriel Jesus scored 95 goals in 236 games across all competitions. Playing alongside Sergio Aguero for much of that time, he was rarely used as the team’s first choice striker.

Jesus’ busiest campaign came in 2019/20 when he was used 34 times in the league. In all competitions, the Brazilian scored 23 times in 53 games.

With no tangible competition for the main forward’s berth, Gabriel Jesus will enjoy far more game time at the Emirates. Arsenal fans will be hoping that he can hit a ratio of at least one goal every two games.

The early signs have been good: As the Gunners completed their pre-season campaign against Sevilla, Jesus claimed a hat trick in a 6-0 win. He took his tally to seven goals across the summer and that’s a clear warning to other clubs across the division.

The serious business starts on August 5th as Arsenal travel to Selhurst Park but the early indications are that Gabriel Jesus is set for a productive first season in Arsenal colours.

  1. What concerns me MORE than whether or not Jesus makes the very top or even near the top of the scoring charts, is that JA, for personal financial reasons,is again trying to tempt fans into betting.
    As a long time and highly experienced odds trader – I buy and sell odds,usually on a longer running event, such as us making fourth or not last season, rather than bet on any particular short lived event, ALMOST ALL of the time I bet- I know better than most, the dangers of being lured, untutored, into risking money on betting.

    I UNDERSTAND ALL THE ODDS AND HOW THE BOOKIES LURE MUG PUNTERS IN AND TEMPT THEM WITH ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN PROMOTIONAL OFFERS.
    IF you intend to be lured into betting, then first study, PROPERLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY how that rapacious industry works and learn how cunning and wised up it is , financially .
    Whatever you decide, do NOT take up gambling because this site has tempted you by this article.

    My sincere advice is do not bet at all and IF you do, do not be a mug punter but first learn the ropes and learn them thoroughly, as I did many years ago and still keep up with the many changes and so called deals.

    I can tell you that PADDY POWER. himself, is a very bright, cunning, charismatic actual individual who has made a fortune from mug punters.

    And there are many sharks like him out there, so BEWARE!
