The £27 million Manchester City parted with for Gabriel Jesus increasingly looks like the best piece of business in the last couple of seasons, with the Brazilian striker scoring for fun in the start to the Premier League this season. We witnessed Kylian Mbappe take the UEFA Champions League by storm last season, and a similar story could happen this year, with Jesus the protagonist.

Jesus isn't known to defences outside of England and Brazil, and the Manchester City striker's penchant for the unpredictable could see him thrive against the best of La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga.

In Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, Pep Guardiola has a couple of superstar forwards that he can rotate with ease or even play together, thus ensuring that late season fatigue/injuries that often is the bane of English clubs in the Champions League does not affect them.
