'Jesus can be one of the best in the world' - Ex-Man City captain backs Brazilian to prove his worth

Manchester City centre-forward Gabriel Jesus "can be one of the best in the world" if he continues on his current trajectory, according to the club's former captain Andy Morrison.

Jesus is likely to see plenty of playing time at the Etihad Stadium over the next few weeks, with first-choice striker Sergio Aguero set for a spell on the sidelines with a thigh injury.

The Argentine was forced to leave the pitch during the second half of City's 2-1 home win over Chelsea on Saturday, and is now likely to miss upcoming fixtures against Newcastle, Burnley and Manchester United.
