Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus will be the best player in the world within three years, according to his former coach.
Jose Francisco Mamede -- the coach at Jesus' first club, Pequeninos do Meio Ambiente -- said the Brazilian forward will win the Ballon d'Or award by 2019.
Jesus, 19, signed a five-year deal with City in the summer and will join up with the club in January after remaining with Palmeiras on loan and helping them to win the Brazilian championship.
Mamede expects the Brazil international to acclimatise quickly to life in the Premier League and says he has the mentality to become the very best.
