Wright asks Arsenal stars to improve
The Gunners legend said Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Reiss Nelson have to drastically improve to give Arsenal a chance to win the league.
“Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli have to bring more,” Wright said via Football365. “They both had half-decent seasons, they’ve got to have more goals in them than what we saw last season. I think it’s a big season for them.”
He added that Nelson needs to step up when Bukayo Saka is not playing.
“For me, Reiss Nelson has a massive season coming up. He’s been around the squad and the manager for long enough now. He needs to produce the performances," the 60-year-old reiterated.
Jesus and Martinelli contributed 16 goals last season, while Nelson scored once in 24 matches.
