GABRIEL JESUS has revealed he is working to be a real "No.9" goal poacher after netting his sixth Arsenal goal in the last four games.
The Brazil star had scored just once in 33 matches before his Carabao Cup hat-trick against Crystal Palace before Christmas.
The £45m forward followed up with another Premier League brace against the South London club - and then scored the equaliser at Brentford.
The 3-1 win saw Mikel Arteta's side return to second place and keep in touch with leaders Liverpool.
And Jesus' hot seasonal streak has also reduced the pressure on Arsenal to buy a new striker this month as they chase four titles without the injured Bukayo Saka.
