Arsenal Closing In on Trophies as Gabriel Jesus Stays Focused
Gabriel Jesus is keen to keep his ambitions in check, setting his sights firmly on securing major trophies with Arsenal ahead of a crucial encounter against Inter Milan. Despite coming close in recent seasons, the Brazilian striker believes that the North London club are now getting closer to winning.
Jesus's return from an almost year-long injury layoff has sparked renewed hope among fans and pundits alike, as Mikel Arteta's side top the Champions League table after winning all six of their games. The seven-point lead in the Premier League only adds fuel to the fire, with Arsenal also still in contention for both domestic cups.
As his contract at the end of next season remains unextended, Jesus has acknowledged that he has yet to enter into talks over a potential deal, but insists that he wants to stay and complete what he sees as unfinished business in North London. "My first target is to be healthy," he said, adding that he aims to play for 1.5 to 2 seasons before injuries continue to plague him.
Jesus expressed confidence in the team's ability to take a step forward, drawing parallels with their past performances. "We are getting closer," he said. "Unfortunately, the last three seasons since I'm here at Arsenal, we finished in second. But we are in good shape β we are happy we are in the position that we are winning games. I do believe we can win."
For Arteta's side, the upcoming match against Inter Milan is a make-or-break situation as they bid to secure their place in the Champions League knockout stages. A single point will guarantee progression, but the pressure remains on to avoid adding two extra games to an already congested schedule.
"Winning would be massive," Arteta stressed. "If we win, that's going to be the case so let's make it happen." The stakes are high for Arsenal as they look to close in on their goals and prove themselves capable of success at the highest level.
