Jesus is yet to score so far this season and has fallen behind Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard in the pecking order at the Emirates.
The Brazilian made his first Premier League start during the 3-1 win over Southampton on Saturday, but failed to make an impression and was taken on after an hour.
Wright has now called on Arsenal supporters to back Jesus. He said on his Wrighty's House podcast: "Can I just say something about Gabriel Jesus because I feel the need to support him right now.
“I really, really do. I know there's a feeling that we may have outgrown him but remember when Gabby came, he was a leveller, he levelled us up.
"Arsenal are at a certain level now but we will definitely need him at some stage so I think it's important in this moment for the Arsenal fans to support him. They have to get behind him. Don't be frustrated with the way he's playing.
"He's trying so hard at the moment and we're going to need him. We need to make sure we give him confidence because he's won this [the Premier League] four times. He's been clutch in many situations before.
"Listening to the murmurings and the way the fans are… please, man, back this guy, stay with him. He wants to do so well and it’s just not happening right now but he needs support, he really, really does."
