Man City's Gabriel Jesus adapted 'very easily' to Prem - Fernandinho

This is a modal window.

Following an up-and-down season under Pep Guardiola, the FC panel share their thoughts on Sergio Aguero's Man City future.

Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho has been impressed with Gabriel Jesus' easy adaptation to Premier League football, and revealed the 20-year-old striker has got some "star" in him after an encouraging first five months with club.

Gabriel scored the fifth goal in City's 5-0 victory over Watford on Sunday to take his tally to seven in just 11 appearances following his £27 million move from Palmeiras in January.

The Brazil No. 9 told reporters on Monday he was surprised with how quickly he's taken to life in England's top flight, but his teammate Fernandinho told ESPN FC that Gabriel came to Manchester with the necessary qualities to succeed quickly.
