Pele hails Man City attacker Gabriel Jesus as Brazil's future

Pele is convinced by the potential of Manchester City whizkid Gabriel Jesus.

Gabriel joined City in January and impressed in a short time despite spending weeks on the sideline with a broken foot.

Speaking to Omnisport, Pele said: "He's a good player too. The same as Neymar, [but] he's just started.

"I think Neymar has a little more experience than him, but both have the same style of game.

"But they are both two forwards that will give Brazil success in the future."
