Former World Cup winner and Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva believes that Manchester City's teenage wonderkid Gabriel Jesus can become a Premier League great if he adapts quickly.

The 19-year-old Palmeiras striker is set to join Pep Guardiola's table-toppers in January after signing for £27m during the summer transfer window.

And with four goals in four international appearances for Brazil, his countryman Gilberto believes he has everything it takes to succeed in England.
