Impressing in preseason
Jesus has looked lively through Nottingham Forest's opening preseason matches, scoring his second goal of the preseason in Wednesday's game against Blackburn Rovers, the club posted.
Analysis: Jesus has shown a strong work rate dropping deep to help build play while still offering a consistent threat in the final third, having already hit the post once in the match before scoring. His latest goal came from a well worked move, with Jair Cunha driving forward before combining with a teammate whose blocked effort fell into Jesus' path to finish. The forward is building strong momentum after also scoring in Saturday's opener. Jesus is expected to carry this form into the new season as a key attacking option for Nottingham Forest.
Active in final draw
Jesus generated three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Jesus failed to make the score sheet despite finding a handful of chances in the final game of the campaign. He featured next to Chris Wood up front in a 4-4-2 system, which was the case in the last two matches. The Brazilian struggled at times in front of goal during his first year in England, but a strong production in Europa League and domestic cups allowed him to reach 15 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions.
