Gabriel Jesus vows to evolve into a 'proper striker' and succeed Sergio Aguero as Man City's main goal threat as Brazilian hails 'best player in the history of the club'... but will he get his chance with Erling Haaland on their summer wish list?

Daily Mail | March 31, 2021

Gabriel Jesus aims to emulate Manchester City's 'best ever player' Sergio Aguero and become a 'proper striker' when the Argentine departs the club in the summer.

Aguero, 32, the club's all-time record goalscorer with 257 goals in 384 matches, will leave the Etihad Stadium after a hugely successful decade when his contract expires.

Though City plan to sign a top class striker, with Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland top of their target list, Brazilian Jesus will hope to take them forward.

City are targeting the Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland to replace Aguero

The 23-year-old hasn't quite continued the lightning start he made after his arrival at City in 2017 but has nonetheless netted 80 goals in 193 appearances for the club.
