David Seaman played with several top-quality attackers during his time at Arsenal.
The legendary Englishman watched the likes of Dennis Bergkamp, Nicolas Anelka and Thierry Henry play from their first days at Highbury all those years ago.
Seaman knows a good talent when he sees one, and he has now made a big claim about one Arsenal player.
The former Gunners and England number one has compared an Arsenal star to former Tottenham Hotspur icon Harry Kane.
David Seaman explains why Gabriel Jesus reminds him of Harry Kane
Gabriel Jesus and Kane have very different attributes as strikers.
The Arsenal man is a tricky dribbler who is good in tight spaces and can cause chaos in the box. Kane, on the other hand, is an old-fashioned number nine who is as lethal as they come.
The one similarity between the two players, however, is that both of them often drop deep to receive the ball and build play-up.
Kane is among the best in the world in doing that, while Jesus is not too bad himself.
Seaman, who has seen both of them play dozens of times over the years, has claimed that Jesus reminds him of Kane every time he drops deep while playing for Arsenal.
Speaking about Jesus, Seaman said on talkSPORT: “He found some form and he found some goals as well (before he suffered his injury).
“Even when he was playing, he reminded me of Harry Kane when he was at Tottenham how he would drop deep too much; Harry Kane for England sometimes, where he would drop deep.
“I’m like ‘Harry, we need you in the box’.
“That’s what I was thinking about Jesus, but he was still scoring. So, I was proven wrong many a time.”
When could Gabriel Jesus return from his injury?
Jesus has had a very difficult time at Arsenal but it looked like things started to go his way recently.
The Brazilian managed to score five times in the space of a few days, and his performances since were mostly very good.
However, Jesus ruptured his ACL in the game against Manchester United in the FA Cup. He has undergone surgery and his season is over now.
Sky Sports reveal that the Arsenal number nine could be sidelined for as long as nine months following his injury.
That means he may not return until November this year, which is a big blow.
