Fernandinho has revealed that he convinced Gabriel Jesus to turn down Barcelona and Real Madrid to join Manchester City.
Jesus has made a stunning start to life in England since his £27million move from Palmeiras in January, scoring three times in his last two Premier League games, including a match-winning double against Swansea City at the weekend.
He was understandably targeted by a number of Europe's top sides, but his compatriot encouraged him move to the Etihad instead.
And he admitted that the promise of regular game time - something Jesus has received under manager Pep Guardiola - was part of his tactic to sell the club to the 19-year-old.
