21-year-old Gabriel Jesus enjoyed his first full season at Manchester City with a title to celebrate. The Brazilian has notched 11 goals and registered 7 assists so far this season and is primed to help guide Brazil to their sixth World Cup crown in Russia.

Under Guardiola, the player has proved himself able to play in any system and is confident leading the line for his club and country. Jesus is a skilful, tricky forward with great positional sense and a keen eye for goal.

An industrious forward, the Brazilian, like most on the list is headed to his first World Cup and could take the tournament by storm. Dunga has placed his trust in the young forward and with the likes of Firmino, Neymar, Coutinho to help the player, his attacking prowess could be displayed at the grandest stage of them all.
