“There were times the ball would flash across the box and no one was in there – he’s on the edge of the box. But Lukaku, I know he’s in there.”
Bent claims Jesus would then have to fight for a place with Martinelli as the left-sided player in Mikel Arteta’s attack. Martinelli was joint-top scorer for Arsenal with 15 goals to his name this term so he would feel aggrieved to lose his starting spot.
Bent wouldn’t be concerned over potentially upsetting either of the two Gabriels. He concluded: “I’d start Gabriel Jesus on the left potentially.
“Maybe [Martinelli will be benched], one or the other. It’s a squad game. But I would start Lukaku down the middle over Gabriel Jesus.”
