Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus reaffirms winger commitment

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has no problem with playing on the wings for his team.

The Gunners are set to take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter finals on Tuesday.

Jesus is likely to start the game, but may be on the left-wing, with Kai Havertz playing as the central striker.

"I don't want to come here and say Gabi doesn't care about playing as a winger when his position normally is a nine," he stated on playing on the wing.

"This part of the season you don't complain. I never complain. I just want to work. Then when I get the chance I will show the manager and everyone else and for myself as well, why I have to play.

"This part of the season I'll put my ego aside and just help the best way and do what the manager wants to help the team in the best way. Obviously It's not easy. Not just for me, but for Eddie as well. If you see the way he works he's unbelievable. Kai is amazing, having amazing games and scoring and helping a lot. That's the price you pay if you want to be in a big club.

"Then you have to fight to play. If you are not playing the best thing you have to do is try to help when you're not getting your chance like I did when the manager asked me to play as a winger."
