Top 10 strikers who will play in the 2018 World Cup

#8 Gabriel Jesus (Brazil)

The ever smiling Jesus will be one to watch come Russia 2018 — The ever-smiling Jesus will be one to watch come Russia 2018

The youngest on the list, the rise of the former Palmeiras starlet has been as rapid as it has been sensational.

For a while now, the Verde-Amarela (The Green and Yellow) as the Brazilian national team are known has been crying out for a world class number 9 in the mould of the greats; Ronaldo, Romario, Ademir, Tostao and so many more, in Gabriel Jesus, they may just have found the latest one.

Fleet of foot, smile, and thinking, Jesus’ combination with golden boy Neymar has been one of the success stories of the world cup qualifiers and is expected to continue at the World Cup.

His 7 goals in 11 appearances for the national team (all in World Cup qualifying) tells its own story about the boy’s talent.

About the author

Well, I love football (a look at my body of work tells a better story). However, I also love other sports and from time to time, pen articles concerning basketball, tennis, boxing, and e-sports.

I follow these sports as much as I can, this explains why I write on a lot of different topics ranging from analysis and tactics to transfers and a whole lot more (reviews, previews and everything in between).

Real Madrid is the team closest to my heart (same goes for Rafa Nadal, Raul Gonzalez, Mike Tyson, Mortal Kombat and the San Antonio Spurs).
