  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Jesus was being tipped to leave Arsenal either in the coming transfer windows, but his form may now encourage Mikel Arteta to keep him at the Emirates Stadium. The striker has opened up on his new-found form as he looks to secure his place in the starting lineup for the long term.

• WHAT JESUS SAID

  Speaking to the media, Jesus said: "It is great to be back in the team, playing more. Arsenal is a massive club and I know the pressure as a number nine here. When I play with a smile on my face, everything is different."
