Gabriel Jesus - Manchester City

Age: 21

Market Value: €80 million

Club: Manchester City

The second Manchester City player on this list, Gabriel Jesus is so phenomenal that he managed to keep the club's record goalscorer, Sergio Aguero, on the bench at times last season.

At just 21 years of age, Jesus has a Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A title, Copa do Brasil, Premier League title, and EFL Cup to his name. In two seasons at Manchester City, the forward has scored 21 goals in 43 games for a strike rate close to a goal every other game.

He has already played an extraordinary 22 times for Brazil, scoring 10 goals including appearances in every World Cup game for his nation. His skill, pace, and finishing ability are simply breathtaking and a joy to watch.

There is no doubt that Gabriel Jesus has a long and very successful career ahead of him. The young Brazilian simply needs to avoid the pitfalls which come with fame and money which have cut short the careers of other great Brazilian players.

If he can do that, he could easily become of the greatest players to ever grace the football field.
