Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent believes that Gabriel Jesus shares characteristics with the Brazilian legend Ronaldo.
Mikel Arteta granted the striker his first start of the season after he had been sidelined due to knee surgery. Jesus demonstrated his worth by scoring the third goal in an impressive 4-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven.
While Eddie Nketiah had filled in admirably during his absence, Arsenal fans are now optimistic that a fully-recovered Gabriel Jesus could be the crucial missing piece in their lineup.
Speaking on talkSPORT, former Spurs player Bent, who is a lifelong Arsenal supporter, drew comparisons between Jesus and one of the greatest footballers of all time.
"Gabriel Jesus did this thing on the edge of the box where he chopped the defender, did a little step over, shifted it and bent it in, but the keeper saved it," said Bent. "I was like 'Oh he looked like prime R9"
