Premier League giants Manchester City have completed the much-awaited transfer of Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus from Palmeiras for $36m (€32m, £27m).
The highly rated 19-year-old will now be available for selection when City clash with Tottenham Hotspurs next weekend after a 4-0 demolition last week by Everton.
The young lethal striker scored a total of 28 goals in only 83 appearances for Palmeiras in two seasons helping them lift the titles before jetting off to Manchester.
“I want to win titles and Manchester City is a club that is used to winning,” Jesus told City website.
“City is a Club that always competes for the title in the competitions it enters, so that was an important factor, and because of the manager, Guardiola, and the squad.”
The Citizens are currently 5th in the table with 42 points, 10 points behind leaders Chelsea. The new striker will now have to compete with Sergio Aguero and Kelechi Iheanacho to try and save Guardiola season.
