Gabriel Jesus has become one of the best signings of FC Barcelona in the last summer market. The 29-year-old forward, who was acquired on September 1 from Arsenal for around 10 million euros, has already scored four goals in seven matches and is taking advantage of Raphinha's absence to gain prominence under Hansi Flick.

Gabriel Jesus scores a goal every 59 minutes

The numbers explain the impact of Gabriel Jesus since his arrival and endorse Deco and Barcelona for signing him. The Brazilian has scored four goals in 238 minutes, an approximate average of one goal every 59 minutes between LaLiga and the Champions League.

Three of those goals came in the Spanish championship, and the other against Feyenoord, in his European debut with FC Barcelona. He needed just a few minutes on the field to score in that first Champions League match.

His latest goal came last Saturday against Betis. Hansi Flick gave him the starting position, and Jesus responded by scoring Barça's third goal after an assist from Lamine Yamal. He played for 79 minutes and also had another goal disallowed during the match.

The data gains more significance considering his situation before landing in Barcelona. The forward had been through a period marked by injuries at Arsenal, including an anterior cruciate ligament rupture suffered in January 2025, and had lost his importance in the English team's rotation.

FC Barcelona finds a solution in Raphinha's absence

Raphinha's injury has changed the initially anticipated role for Gabriel Jesus. He arrived to expand the offensive options and relieve some minutes for his compatriot, but his performance has led Hansi Flick to use him as a starter in recent matches.

It happened before against Getafe, where he scored in the 3-0 victory for the Blaugrana, and repeated against Betis. His offensive production also coincides with a Liga start where Barça has scored 39 goals in nine matches and won all nine games.

Flick had already publicly praised his adaptation before these recent games. The coach believes the forward still has room to increase his impact, and his recent performances have heightened the competition in a forward line with multiple options.

Deco finds immediate performance in a 10-million-euro deal

The operation takes on another dimension due to its cost. FC Barcelona moved to close the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal for an amount close to 10 million euros at the end of the market, and the Brazilian signed until June 30, 2029.

Main concerns were linked to his physical history and recent goal-scoring output. Just a month and a half later, Jesus has answered with four goals, even though he was only a starter in some of his appearances.

The next step for Gabriel Jesus will be to see if he can maintain that consistency once Raphinha is back. The competition will increase, but his current performance has already given Flick an alternative that went from a secondary role to competing for minutes in the starting eleven.
