Man City will do everything to keep Jesus as long as possible - Guardiola

Manchester City will try to retain Gabriel Jesus' services for "as long as possible", according to Pep Guardiola.

Jesus signed for City from Palmeiras in the summer of 2016 for a reported £27 million ($35m) fee, and spent the remainder of the year on loan with the Brazilian club before joining his new team-mates in Manchester the following January.

The 22-year-old netted seven times in his first 10 outings for City, impressing with his predatory instincts in the final third and fearlessness in possession.

Jesus went on to contribute 13 goals and three assists in 29 Premier League appearances as City stormed to the title in 2017-18, solidifying his reputation as one of the most promising young forwards in Europe.
