Former Palmeiras goalkeeper Fernando Prass says Arsenal can help Gabriel Jesus reach the level of Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah.

Prass joined Palmeiras in 2013, the same year Gabriel Jesus joined the club's youth team set-up.

Prass witnessed Gabriel Jesus blossom from a promising academy talent to a fully-fledged star before his departure for Manchester City.

"He was always very willing to learn, very hardworking and focused! I remember we stayed after training for him to work on finishing, especially with his left leg and head!" recalled Prass to the Mirror.

"Every player needs confidence to play at the highest level!

"After the World Cup in Russia, I talked to Jesus, obviously, he was very upset, but he knows that at 21 years old, in 2018, already being Brazilian champion, gold in the Olympics and playing in a World Cup he was at a top world level and everything he experiences, good and bad, serves to make him a better and more complete athlete!

"He certainly evolved a lot with all this, even because he has a very strong mentality!"

Asked if Gabriel Jesus can reach the levels of Salah and Kane, the now retired Prass added: "Surely by the path he has travelled, yes he can. Particularly I bet on that, that he will become one of the main strikers in the Premier League. This is the natural path for Gabriel."
