One Arsenal star hugely impressed Mikel Arteta and his coaching staff in training throughout the international break.

Mikel Arteta will need to lean on the full depth of his Arsenal squad between now and the end of the season.

The Gunners are still pushing for glory in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Every game between now and the end of the campaign will carry huge importance, but as the fixtures will also come thick and fast, Arteta cannot simply rely upon his preferred starting XI to get the job done week in, week out.

The Spanish coach has a strong squad at his disposal at the Emirates Stadium, and will need to use it. On top of that, all of his players will need to shine in training to show that they are ready to deliver when called upon.

Gabriel Jesus impresses at Arsenal

One man who looks set to play a key role between now and the end of the campaign is Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian striker has had a difficult season so far, marred by injuries and profligacy in front of goal. There is now an argument that he is the second-choice to lead the line behind Kai Havertz.

However, Jesus has vowed to change his game in order to become a more prolific goalscorer and has caught the eye at London Colney in recent weeks following his return to fitness, having been sidelined throughout February.

As reported by The Sun, the 26-year-old forward has been in fine form on the training pitch in recent weeks. The former Manchester City ace is now expected to “feature heavily” in the coming weeks, after looking “sharp” in training, with “coaches said to be encouraged by his attitude, physicality and finishing.”

If Jesus can hit top form now and get back to his best then that would be a huge boost for the Gunners.

Gilberto Silva sends message to Gabriel Jesus

There’s no denying the 64-cap Brazil international’s talent. He brings so much flair and directness to the team, and his pressing work off the ball is exemplary. At his best he could make all the difference in the Premier League title race this season.

Arsenal icon Gilberto Silva has urged Jesus to “step up” and show everyone what he can do in the final weeks of the campaign.

So far this season, he has netted just four times in the Premier League, after 19 outings. He is capable of better, and Arsenal need better from him.

Jesus is not just playing for the Gunners’ potential glory this season either, but potentially his own future too, as Arsenal have been heavily linked with a number of strikers who may be lined up to replace him.
