In place of Aguero or out wide? How Gabriel Jesus will fit in at Man City

COMMENT

Gabriel Jesus began life as a Manchester City player on Wednesday as he trained with his new team-mates for the first time.

The 19-year-old visited England at the start of December to find an apartment in Manchester and watch City’s Premier League game with Chelsea.

He then returned to Brazil for a month-long holiday, but Pep Guardiola does not expect the forward to take too long to get up to speed and start playing a part for City.

The boy hilariously nicknamed Tetinha - 'small tits' - as a child due to his diminutive stature has shown a keen eye for goal over the last few months, one of the reasons he appeared on the radar of City’s South American scouts.
