The Brazilian youngster has been backed to become a major star by his compatriot after his fine performances in recent weeks
Fernandinho has been impressed by how quickly Gabriel Jesus has settled into life at Manchester City and expects him to keep on improving.
The 19-year-old has netted three goals in as many Premier League appearances since completing his move from Palmeiras last month, including a stoppage-time winner against Swansea City last weekend.
Jesus' form has been so impressive that he has ousted Sergio Aguero from City's starting line-up, leading to speculation the latter could be on his way out.
