The FA still needs to clarify documents relating to the Brazilian's £27m transfer, though City insist there are no issues with third-party ownership
Manchester City are confident they will be able to register Gabriel Jesus in time for next Saturday’s Premier League clash with Tottenham.
City boss Pep Guardiola confirmed on Friday that Jesus would not be registered with the Football Association in time to make his debut against Everton at Goodison Park this weekend.
It is understood the FA still needs to clarify certain documents before it can clear Jesus to play, though senior City sources believe the process is 95-97 per cent complete.
