Roberto Carlos: 'Fantastic' Gabriel Jesus will be a Man City star

The former Brazil international believes his countryman can become a big player for Pep Guardiola's side after making his debut against Tottenham

Brazil legend Roberto Carlos has backed compatriot Gabriel Jesus to become a star at Manchester City.

The 19-year-old made his Premier League debut on Saturday against Tottenham, coming off the bench for an impressive cameo, having signed for Pep Guardiola's side from Palmeiras.

City paid a reported £27 million for the attacker, who is a full Brazil international, having already scored four goals in six appearances since making his senior debut in September 2016.
