Manchester City v Swansea City - Premier League

20-year-old Gabriel Jesus arrived in English waters last season only but his rise to fame has been meteoric with the Brazilian cementing his place in Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side as well as playing for the Selecao as the lone striker in a national team consisting of world-class talents like Neymar, Coutinho, Firmino to name a few.

An Olympic gold medalist already, Jesus has made a name for himself in the Premier League due to his express speed and amazing ball control. The forward already has eight goals and two assists this season to his name in the League helping Manchester City break all sort of records in the process.

The 20-year-old striker is very versatile and is comfortable playing out wide and finding spaces from the side to steal a chance. His agility and quick feet always keep the defenders guessing which make him so much more of a threat overall. Jesus is certainly a supreme talent and is regarded as a potential Ballon d’Or candidate in the future.
